As per reports, Harding, Prebeg as well as Gustafsson were nabbed in the Ukrainian port of Mariupol as well as could face possible execution for trying to “seize power by force” & “participating in armed battles as mercenaries.”

Hill is currently facing charges of being a mercenary, while Healy is being tried for taking part in the recruitment of mercenaries for Ukraine.

On June 9, the supreme court of the self-proclaimed republic already sentenced two Britons and a Moroccan, all of whom were captured by pro-Russian forces in Ukraine’s industrial east, to death for being mercenaries. All three have appealed their verdicts.

There has been a moratorium on the death penalty in Russia since 1997, but it does not apply in the two separatist regions in Ukraine.
