#LIBERATECRIMEA is an international civil society movement for the de-occupation of Crimea and solidarity with the Crimean Tatar people. It aims to strengthen the voice of civil society, calling for an end to the illegal occupation of Crimea, a gross violation of international law and the root cause of the countless human rights violations committed in Crimea since February 2014. The movement was initiated a year ago. During this period, numerous events were held in Europe, Asia, the USA, Canada, Australia in support of the territorial integrity of Ukraine.
