Also, 381 cases of violation of the right to a fair trial, 68 cases of violation of the right to the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health were recorded, UATV reports.
Eskender Bariev explained that such Russian actions by its desire to ensure that the “unwanted” residents of the Crimea went beyond its borders, and fill the peninsula with a different, own population, in order to have more control over this territory. The Russian Federation is also trying to demonstrate to the European world that the Crimean Tatars are a threat of Islamic terrorism.
Bariev noted that now the persecution is taking place mainly on a religious basis.
