Russia withdraws from European anti-torture convention

President Vladimir Putin on Monday signed a law to pull Russia out of a European anti-torture convention, Moscow's latest rejection of Western institutions and rights protections amid its offensive on Ukraine.

According to a document published online by Russian authorities, Putin approved a law to denounce the European Convention for the Prevention of Torture, a landmark agreement that aims to strengthen the rights of people deprived of their liberty, such as prisoners.
