Four human rights organizations have submitted a parallel report to the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) on the situation of women from the Indigenous small-numbered peoples of the North, Siberia and the Far East of Russia. The document was prepared for the 93rd session of the Committee, which will take place in Geneva from 5 to 30 October 2026.

Amnesty International has released a special poster dedicated to Russian human rights defender and representative of the Selkup people Daria Egereva. The material was published on September 1 as part of the organization’s global Write for Rights 2026 campaign.

A new letter from the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) raises serious concerns about the use of anti-extremism legislation against human rights defenders and civil society representatives working on Indigenous Peoples’ rights in Russia. Although the Committee does not mention Daria Egereva or Natalia Leongardt by name, its concerns are directly relevant to the circumstances of their prosecution.

Bonn, Germany - While the UN climate talks preparing COP31 have begun in Bonn this week, Daria Egereva, an ethnic Selkup, Indigenous leader and climate activist, has been awaiting trial in Russian jail since 17th of December, when a large-scale, coordinated wave of repressive actions against Indigenous Peoples and their human rights defenders took place. Daria was detained shortly after coming back from UN climate talks in Belém (Brazil).
