• Topics / Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea
Server Mustafayev, renowned Crimean Tatar political prisoner, receives Freedom House award for exemplary courage
23.05.2025
Server Mustafayev “chose not to be silent” about Russia’s repression in occupied Crimea. Russia’s vengeance against him and other Crimean Solidarity journalists has been savage
Russia escalates persecution, labelling renowned Crimean Tatar journalist and human rights defender a ‘foreign agent’
19.05.2025
This is the latest of several attacks on Lutfiye Zudiyeva and clearly aimed at silencing the courageous Crimean Solidarity coordinator, whose male colleagues have ended up receiving massive sentences for refusing to be stifled
Russia rubberstamps 15-year ‘treason’ sentence against 58-year-old Crimean activist Oksana Senedzhuk
16.05.2025
It is extremely likely that Oksana Senedzhuk was targeted because of her pro-Ukrainian position and open opposition to Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine
Russia threatens Crimean Tatar political prisoners with deportation to Uzbekistan
12.05.2025
The move would be cynical and lawless, however Russia has already forcibly deported one human rights activist. They also killed recognized refugee Nabi Rahimov and then sent his wife back to Uzbekistan where she faced religious persecution
19-year sentence for Crimean Solidarity journalism not enough – Russia steps up persecution of Remzi Bekirov
08.05.2025
Russia used religious faith as pretext for massive sentences against Remzi Bekirov and 24 other Crimean Tatar civic journalists and activists and is now weaponizing it again to make his life even more difficult in Russian prison
Certain death warrant as six Crimean Tatar activists sentenced to 14 years ‘for refusing to be silent’ about Russian repression
30.04.2025
14 years for discussing daily prayers and other aspects of the men’s faith – and for refusing to remain silent about Russia’s lawless repression in occupied Crimea
Even Russian prison service asks to release blind and disabled Ukrainian political prisoner Oleksandr Sizikov
28.04.2025
Russia’s FSB, prosecutors and ‘judges’ were willing to sentence Sizikov to 17 years and send him to Siberia for speaking out about repression in occupied Crimea
Russia’s selective ‘terrorism’ in war against Ukraine and in fraternizing with the Taliban
23.04.2025
Moscow’s rapprochement with the Taliban coincides with its sharp escalation in fabricated ‘terrorism’ charges against Crimean Tatar and other Ukrainian political prisoners and POWs
Chilling silence 13 months after enforced disappearance of Crimean Anatoliy Kobzar
18.04.2025
It is likely that 45-year-old Anatoliy Kobzar was targeted because of his pro-Ukrainian views, with the FSB holding him incommunicado and probably tortured while they fabricate charges
Russia seeks effective death sentence against 69-year-old Crimean Tatar political prisoner and horrific sentences against five others
08.04.2025
Both Khalil Mambetov and his wife had serious health issues even before Russia's FSB ignored his age and charged him with 'violently planning to overthrow the regime with words and books
Russian occupiers terrorize and threaten wife of Crimean political prisoner Vadim Siruk
07.04.2025
"The real terrorists are those who burst into the homes of people peacefully sleeping, who intimidate people who tell the truth; and who imprison people for their political and religious views.” - Vadim Siruk
Entire Ukrainian family seized in latest Russian terror in occupied Crimea
01.04.2025
The fact that the FSB concealed the whereabouts of Tetiana Maliar, her brother and adult son and daughter for a week after they were taken away is likely to mean that they were subjected to torture
Crimean sentenced to 15 years for donation to rescue children from Russian-occupied territory
31.03.2025
30-year-old Vladyslav Afanasiev has been denied contact with his family and healthcare since his ‘arrest’ in the summer of 2024 on surreal ‘treason’ charges
Halyna Dovhopola turns 70, imprisoned in Russia for remaining true to Ukraine in occupied Crimea
27.03.2025
It is very likely that Russia’s FSB came for Halyna because she had never concealed her opposition to Russia’s invasion of Crimea
Russia’s most savage sentence yet against 66-year-old Ukrainian woman from occupied Crimea
26.03.2025
The indictment seems copied verbatim from other such fabricated ‘trials’ of Ukrainians, but this time Russia is planning to imprison Nina Tymoshenko until she is 82
Russians take away elderly Crimean Tatar veteran’s trailer where he lived after they demolished his home
24.03.2025
Russia’s action in razing Rustem Useinov’s home to the ground was described in 2021 as a war crime. Now the same occupiers have taken away the 70-year-old’s trailer, his medicines and other items
Kremlin celebrates as Trump administration cuts key source of information about Russia’s crimes in occupied Ukraine
17.03.2025
The Trump administration appears bent on silencing Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty, something Moscow tried but failed to achieve and that will only help escalate its repression and crimes in occupied Ukraine
Unending punitive psychiatry against tortured Crimean Tatar human rights activist
12.03.2025
Yunus Masharipov was almost certainly targeted and tortured back in 2018 by Russia’s FSB for his human rights monitoring in occupied Yalta. His unwavering demand for justice has resulted in indefinite imprisonment in a ‘psychiatric hospital’
Death sentence and persecution of Crimean Tatar family in Russia’s war against Crimean Solidarity
10.03.2025
Russia’s persecution of four members of one family, as well as of a gravely ill civic journalist is chillingly reminiscent of the methods of terror use by Stalin’s regime against the three brothers’ great-grandfather
Russia destroys irreplaceable fresco in ongoing destruction of 16th century Crimean Tatar Khan’s Palace
07.03.2025
Russia has been systematically, perhaps deliberately, destroying a monument which, before Russia’s invasion of Crimea, was on UNESCO’s list of potential World Heritage sites
