Crimean Tatar detained, tortured and charged with ‘inciting enmity to Russians’
25.01.2018
A Russian-controlled ‘court’ in Crimea has remanded Ismail Ramazanov in custody for a month after refusing to react to the young man’s acute pain from the beating he endured in police custody. Ramazanov is accused of ‘extremism’ over comments he allegedly made to an Internet radio station.

Fake defence of ‘journalist’ used for politically motivated charges against Ukrainian anti-corruption activist
24.01.2018
Ukrainian media watchdogs and human rights NGOs have reacted with anger to the new charge laid against anti-corruption activist Vitaly Shabunin. They accuse the authorities of using legislation intended to protect journalists’ rights against those who get in their way, while failing to properly investigate real cases of violence against or obstruction of journalists.
Nurse held prisoner for revealing the Russian soldiers Russia claims are not in Ukraine
23.01.2018
Unlike other civilian hostages sentenced to 14 or 17 years for a pro-Ukrainian flashmob or critical blog entries, Halyna Haiova, really did pass on information about Russia military men receiving treatment in her hospital.
Five Crimean Tatars on trial for unspecified crimes in a country the ‘prosecutor’ can’t identify
23.01.2018
A ‘prosecutor’ in Russian-occupied Crimea has proven unable to tell five Crimean Tatars on trial which country they are alleged to have acted illegally in, and how they did so. This is not the first time that the prosecutor has been stumped for an answer, though that has not prevented two of the men - Ali Asanov and Mustafa Degermendzhy - being held either in custody or under house arrest for almost three years.

Ukrainian police disturbingly passive during far-right attack on Kyiv gathering in memory of Markelov & Baburova
22.01.2018
A planned remembrance gathering on January 19 in honour of slain Sevastopol journalist Anastasia Baburova and Russian lawyer Stanislav Markelov was disrupted on January 19 by thugs from the far-right C14 group. Civic activists monitoring the police officers’ failure to protect people at a peaceful gathering believe that their behaviour indicates disturbing bias.
Strasbourg demands answers from Russia about Tatar activist jailed for criticizing invasion of Crimea
22.01.2018
The European Court of Human Rights has sent the Russian government questions regarding the prosecution and imprisonment of Tatar activist Rafis Kashapov for six posts on the VKontakte social network. The move is of major importance given the number of other people whom Russia is prosecuting or has already jailed for similar criticism of its occupation of Crimea and aggression in Eastern Ukraine.
Why Poroshenko’s Anti-Corruption Court Is a Sham Proposal
22.01.2018
Ukrainians want corrupt public officials to go to jail. It didn’t happen in 2014, 2015, 2016, or 2017.
Russia’s imprisonment of gravely ill Crimean Tatar veteran activists amounts to torture
19.01.2018
The Russian occupation authorities in Crimea have made no attempt to investigate the death of 83-year-old veteran of the Crimean Tatar national movement, Vedzhie Kashka, minutes after the FSB’s extraordinary attempt to arrest her. Instead the very lives of two of the four men arrested in the same ‘case’ are being placed in danger as part of a cynical and futile attempt to discredit Crimean Tatars.

Crimean Tatar activist jailed after new armed searches ‘for a video posted in 2012’
19.01.2018
27-year-old Crimean Tatar activist Girai Kulametov was sentenced to ten days’ imprisonment on January 18 after he and his family were subjected to an early morning armed search. The pretext for this latest act of intimidation against a young man who was involved in the single-person pickets on October 14 proved to be a video posted on a social media page two years before Russia’s invasion and annexation of Crimea.
Racist grounds given for mass persecution of Crimean Tatars in occupied Crimea
18.01.2018
Police in Russian-occupied Crimea have on several occasions tried to justify detaining Crimean Tatars holding legal solitary pickets by claiming that their protest “aroused dissatisfaction among the Slavonic population”.

Donbas reintegration law poses human rights risks & doesn’t help hold Russia to account
18.01.2018
A contentious bill on reintegrating occupied parts of Donbas could be passed by Ukraine’s Verkhovna Rada on Thursday despite warnings from major human rights NGOs that it poses serious dangers unless important amendments are made
Monitoring of unlawful violence in Ukrainian police (2004–2017)
18.01.2018
The next, sixth stage of the national monitoring of illegal violence in police allows to assess not only the dynamics of this phenomenon in Ukraine during the whole period (2004–2017).
Activist jailed for Ukrainian flag in Russian-occupied Crimea after a farcical ‘retrial’
17.01.2018
A second ‘judge’ in Russian-occupied Crimea has sentenced Volodymyr Balukh to three years and seven months’ imprisonment on overtly falsified charges after an identical sentence had to be revoked. The second ‘trial’ was just as flawed as the first, leaving no doubt that Balukh is being persecuted for the Ukrainian flag he continued to fly over his home after Russia’s invasion and for his unwavering opposition to Russian occupation.

Ukraine imposes baffling ban on work by renowned English historian & others
17.01.2018
Ukraine’s State Television and Radio Broadcasting Committee has announced a ban on the import into Ukraine of 25 books published in Russia. The list is so baffling that one might suspect the reports were fake news aimed at discrediting Ukraine had the announcement not been posted on the Committee’s official website.
