Woman sentenced to 15 years for planning a ‘terrorist attack’ against Russian ‘Z’ war symbol in occupied Crimea

With impunity guaranteed for the Russian regime’s FSB and ‘courts’, no effort is made to present plausible charges to justify horrifically long sentences

Crimean sentenced to 5 years for critical comments about Russia’s army on YouTube

While Russia claims that Crimeans are united behind its full-scale invasion, Valeriy Shevchuk is only the latest of very many Crimeans to face imprisonment or fines for supporting Ukraine

A forced ‘peace’ without Crimea means a carte blanche for Russia to continue its crimes against Ukraine

Crimean Tatars prevented Moscow from staging a coup without open invasion 11 years ago and have faced savage repression ever since. Acceptance of Russia’s occupation of any part of Ukraine would be a betrayal and dangerous

Crimean Tatar sentenced to 18 years in Russian secret ‘trial’ where only torture is near certain

The only likely reason for holding Ruslan Mambetov incommunicado for over a month is that the FSB wanted to extract 'confessions' through torture in order to concoct yet another such 'treason' trial
