The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights has said the building of metal cages by Russian-backed authorities for Ukrainian prisoners of war in Mariupol is humiliating.

Addressing a news conference in New York, the spokesperson for the Office,Ravina Shamdasani said the UN is very concerned about the manner in which this is being done.

She said willfully depriving a prisoner of war of the right to a fair trial would amount to a war-crime.
