United Nations officials say the human rights situation in eastern Ukraine is worsening.

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay released a report on Friday that details an "alarming deterioration in the human rights situation in the east of the country," and identifies a list of problems that are emerging in Russia-occupied Crimea.

The report, which was compiled from a team of 34 monitors operating in the country covering April 2 through May 6 2014, cites "a breakdown in law and order and a climate of intimidation and harassment," due to the groups of armed separatists that are occupying government buildings across many cities in eastern Ukraine.

"Leaders and members of these armed groups commit an increasing number of human rights abuses, such as abductions, harassment, unlawful detentions, in particular of journalists," the report states, noting that freedom of expression "is under particular attack."

At least 23 journalists have been abducted and unlawfully detained in the country, it says, noting most of the abductions occurred in Slovyansk the city where Vice reporter Simon Ostrovsky was capturedf or a week in April and, upon his release, told of others that were being held in a damp basement there.

New Delhi, May 16 : Human rights and civil society groups, in a joint statement Friday condemned the brazen killing of a Pakistani advocate and human rights commission member.

Rashid Rehman Khan was murdered by unidentified gunmen at the office of the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan in Multan last week.

Khan, a Pakistan Supreme Court lawyer, was killed for defending a university lecturer against unfounded accusations of blasphemy -- a charge that carries the death sentence.

He had been openly warned by fellow lawyers in the presence of the presiding judge against continuing to defend the accused during the course of a hearing being held inside jail premises, the statement said.

"Khan's requests to the local police to investigate these threats had gone unheeded. He was murdered as he sat preparing an appeal asking that the blasphemy case be quashed," it said.

"Constitution of Pakistan obliges the state to ensure each individual a fair trial, assures each person of a right to an effective defence as well as assures each person of the right to hold their own views, associate with others and follow a profession," the statement said.

It said the killing of Khan for doing his duty as a lawyer amounted to a traitorous act against the Constitution.

"We urge the government of Pakistan to take necessary steps toward effective investigation by higher police authorities and swiftly identify the killers and bring them to justice along with their abettors," it said.

The statement has been endorsed by the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Right to Health Anand Grover, Bangladesh Legal Aid and Services Trust, Centre for Policy Alternatives (Sri Lanka), Centre for Peace and Development Initiative (Pakistan), Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative (India), Gulmina Bilal Ahmad (Pakistan), INFORM Human Rights Documentation Centre (Sri Lanka), Maldivian Democracy Network (Maldives), Rozan (Pakistan), Ruki Fernando (Sri Lanka) and Working Group on Human Rights in India.
