Ukrainian journalist Anhar Kochneva, who has escaped from captivity in Syria, is planning to appeal to an international court against her abductors.

"I want to appeal to an international court. I want them to bring evidence [of Kochneva's guilt and explain] why they were going to kill me. I think international trials will be held. Any person can be abducted like that and forced to say anything, and then they could state that the person admitted his or her guilt and they killed him or her for that," she told an Interfax-Ukraine reporter on Monday.

The journalist did not specify what exactly court she was planning to appeal to. She added that she would consult lawyers about the issue.

"I think the issue has prospects, as they don't have any evidence of my alleged guilt," she said.

Kochneva added that she knows the names of her abductors.

As for her further plans, Kochneva said she will stay in Kyiv for two days and will go to Moscow then.

"I will stay in Kyiv for two days, because I have to receive my passport - the gangsters took the old one – and I don't have documents now. Secondly, tomorrow I am going to give a press conference, we will tackle the issue with the Syrian ambassador," Kochneva said.

She added that she is planning to travel to Moscow afterwards to see her daughter and friends, and then she plans to return to Syria.

As reported, Kochneva was abducted in Syria by rebels from the Free Syrian Army in October 2012. The journalist's abductors threatened to kill her if they were not paid a $50-million ransom. In January, the rebels told the journalist's relatives they had agreed to reduce the ransom to $300,000.

On March 11, Kochneva's relative said that she had escaped from captivity and that she was in Damascus.

On March 17, Kochneva returned to Kyiv with the assistance of the Foreign Ministry of Ukraine.
