The UN Human Rights Office says it is concerned by reports that Russia plans to try Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs) in Russian-occupied Mariupol.
A UN spokeswoman said there was evidence that metal cages were being built in the Ukrainian city's concert hall, "apparently to restrain prisoners of war during proceedings."
The UN said prosecuting POWs for taking part in hostilities is a war crime.
Russia has previously denied unfairly treating prisoners of war.
Photos posted on social media in recent days - including by Ukrainian authorities - appear to show metal cages being built on the stage of the city's philharmonic hall.
The BBC has verified that the photos match the interior of the venue and were taken within the last four to five days.

Cages for the defendants are a regular thing. Ukraine tries their criminals in cages as well.
Ukraine war: Alarm over reports Ukrainian POWs face trial in cages
—
You mean they actually get trials? They’re doing better than the J6 political prisoners who have been held in in cages for almost 2 years without even being charged, much less tried.
Oh good - another Uke whine event on FR.
Maybe we’ll get to see the Uke trash waterboarded in their little Russian cages... on live TV.
I’ll laugh uproariously, especially if they choke to death.
The Ukies also shelled the Russian POW camp housing captured Ukie Nazis, they were starting to sing to their Russian captors.
The Marioupol war crime trials are being set up inside the Orchestra Hall, how long before the Ukies target it? A sign, the Ukies are starting to eat their own…
I seen a movie with a Russian guy in court in a cage. Thought it was weird, but it’s probably a normal thing over there
You only do war crimes trailer after the war is won.
During the war only leads to reprisals against POWs.
Ukraine started with the show trials of PoWs. Mariupol trial of Nazis is the real deal. Azov Nazis were voted into terrorist organizations by the US Congress before the media made them into heroes in February. Read OSCE reports on their crimes. You wouldn’t believe it took place in the 21th century, not in 1940s.
My comment was as a general one.
Each side will do a tit for that and use POWs in their propaganda war.
Of course “victor’s justice” was rampant after WW2.
Can they be used to help the Jan 6 political prisoners?
