Repression of the Russian occupiers in the Crimea

On September 3-4, in the occupied Crimea, FSB officers detained five Crimean Tatars .

According to human rights activists, they were detained allegedly in connection with the explosion of a gas pipeline in the village of Perevalne, Simferopol region.

On the facts of searches and detentions of the Crimean Tatars the prosecutor’s office of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol opened proceedings under part 2 of Art. 162 (violation of the inviolability of the home) and Part 2 of Art. 146 (illegal imprisonment) of the Criminal code of Ukraine.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky spoke in defense of illegally detained Crimean Tatars.

On September 4, the Crimean Human Rights Group issued an urgent statement on the abduction of five Crimean Tatars . It calls on Russia as an occupying power to immediately release illegally detained detainees and asks foreign states and international organizations to protest strongly against Russia’s actions and impose personal sanctions on those involved in searches, detentions and abductions of Crimean residents.
