>Recent reporting and legal developments reveal that the Wagner Group has indeed been exposed for sharing graphic videos of their war crimes via Telegram, sometimes even behind paywalls, prompting calls for an ICC investigation. A confidential legal brief submitted to the International Criminal Court (ICC) by UC Berkeley legal experts asserts that Wagner has been distributing highly graphic videos—involving mutilation, torture, and even scenes implying cannibalism—on Telegram channels tied to their network.[7] These videos sometimes ended up behind paywalls, shared explicitly to terrorize civilians and dehumanize victims in Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger.[8] The Telegram channel White Uncles in Africa, believed to be managed by current or former Wagner operatives, has reposted such atrocity content. Experts argue that even sharing these videos may itself be a war crime, constituting a violation of human dignity under the Rome Statute .[8] The ICC is evaluating whether promoting and distributing these graphic atrocities via social media—Telegram in particular—can amount to an outrage upon personal dignity, a war crime under international law.[7] Human Rights Watch and interviewed legal experts emphasize that this type of violent content isn't just documentary—it's being used as a tool of psychological warfare.
