Direct translation of the article![]() "The report records the continuing practices of illegal persecution of Crimeans, the use of torture for self-incrimination, the transfer of illegally convicted persons to the territory of Russia, the impunity of the bodies of the Russian occupation authorities, including the FSB," Geppar said. In addition, the retrospective application of Russian legislation is noted, in particular for the attack on freedom of the media and deprivation of housing for Crimeans, which is actually one of the forms of forced change in the demographic composition of the population. Finally, the lawlessness of the "authorities" of the annexed peninsula also includes an attack on religious freedom, in particular, it is about the persecution of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine. "These are the practices in violation of international law that Russia brought with it as an occupation power in the Ukrainian lands of Crimea and Donbass," Jappar summed up. Recall that earlier in Crimea, a sentence was passed in absentia to Refat Chubarov . The head of the Mejlis was accused of riots near the building of the Supreme Council of Crimea in February 2014, during which two people were killed. It was also reported that Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba called on the OSCE to pay more attention to Crimea . The OSCE Special Monitoring Mission should increase the number of its efforts in the Crimean direction. |
