Russia uses Trial by Fake Secret Witnesses to imprison Crimean Tatars
28.02.2020
The questioning on 26 February of a ‘secret prosecution witness’ in the trial of three Crimean Tatar political prisoners was the stuff that comedies are made of. Or would have been, except that all three men are facing sentences of up to 20 years for no recognizable crime
Russia seeks record sentence against Ukrainian Jehovah’s Witness in occupied Crimea
26.02.2020
Russia has marked the sixth anniversary of its invasion of Crimea by proposing to sentence Ukrainian Jehovah’s Witness, Serhiy Filatov, to seven years in a maximum security prison for supposedly “undermining state security” by practising his faith.
Russian "experts" claim calls to pray for political prisoners are proof of terrorism
19.02.2020
International outrage over Russia’s huge sentences against seven young men from Penza for involvement in an entirely fictitious “Network” is undoubtedly warranted, however frustratingly selective

Russia lies to conceal critical condition of Crimean Tatar political prisoner Dzhemil Gafarov
05.02.2020
58-year-old Dzhemil Gafarov suffers form several life-threatening medical conditions which should preclude his imprisonment, yet Russia is refusing to release him and simply lying about his condition
Ukrainian authorities copy Russia and carry out raid outside Kyiv Mosque
31.01.2020
The Ukrainian authorities have once again copied the worst behaviour of the Russian occupation regime in Crimea, and have most cynically chosen to do so on Friday, a special day of prayer for Muslims
Crimean Tatar political prisoners face surreal terrorism charges that the prosecutor can’t explain
30.01.2020
Three Crimean Tatar political prisoners have told a court in Russia that they are Ukrainian citizens, with the two of them who also have Russian citizenship saying that it was forced upon them
Russia to answer to European Court of Human Rights over detention of Crimean Archbishop Klyment
30.01.2020
The Archbishop was detained in Russian-occupied Crimea and held until late evening on preposterous charges, with the initial intention almost certainly being to impose a period of administrative arrest
Crimean Tatar political prisoner’s life on the line, with Russia denying medical care
28.01.2020
Server Zekiryaev has a tumour which may be malignant, yet his Russian captors are refusing to even get him a proper medical examination

Life sentence for defending political prisoners? Russia begins new trial of three Crimean Tatars
10.01.2020
40-year-old Rustem Emiruseinov responded to the mounting repression in occupied Crimea by standing in peaceful protest with a banner reading “Muslims are not terrorists”. The Russian FSB came for him on 14 February 2019, and he is now facing a potential life sentence on the same fabricated and deeply flawed ‘terrorism’ charges as the men he was defending.
Ukraine is abandoning its Church and believers in Russian-occupied Crimea
03.01.2020
For almost six years, the Russian occupation regime has been trying to drive the Ukrainian Orthodox Church out of Crimea, with the reaction of Ukraine’s leaders varying from expressions of deep concern to very deep
Russia moves to hide its political trial of Crimean Tatar civic activists
27.12.2019
A court in Rostov has banned any photos, videos or Internet streaming of the trial of eight Crimean Tatar civic activists, with this even extending to before the hearings begin, and during breaks.
Russia reduces horrific sentences against five Crimean Tatar political prisoners by all of 6 months
25.12.2019
Russia’s Supreme Court has taken a mere two hours or so to consider the flawed charges against five Crimean Tatar political prisoners, and the lack of any evidence to back them, before upholding each of the men’s convictions

Russia brings 19-year sentences against religious ‘dissidents’ to occupied Crimea
13.12.2019
The fabricated charges against Muslim Aliev and five other Ukrainian Muslims have prompted Amnesty International to call all six men prisoners of conscience and the Memorial Human Rights Centre to recognize them as political prisoners
Cathedral plundered as Russia pushes to crush the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Crimea
10.12.2019
