Russia imprisons Crimean political prisoner 2,200 kilometres from her infant daughters

Russia’s brutality is directed not just against Crimean political prisoners, but against their small children, with 26-year-old Oleksandra Strilets one of at least four mothers abducted and facing political charges in the last year
