Crimean Tatar leader added to Russian List of ‘Terrorists & Extremists’ for Opposing Annexation
02.01.2017
Russia has added Crimean Tatar Mejlis leader Ilmi Umerov to its notoriously long list of so-called ‘Terrorists and Extremists’ for saying, as do all democratic states, that Russia should be made to leave Crimea.

Russia moves to stifle vital watchdog highlighting misuse of ’extremism’ legislation
02.01.2017

Russian historian of Soviet terror arrested on chillingly cynical charges
30.12.2016
Yury Dmitriev has devoted the last 30 years to ensuring that the history of the Soviet Terror is known, and the unmarked graves of countless victims honoured.
