The Ukrainian World Congress is concerned about a new wave of illegal searches and detentions of Crimean Tatars in the occupied Crimea, as the Russian Federation once again violates the rule of law. This was reported by the agency via its page on Facebook.

“The Ukrainian World Congress is concerned about a new wave of illegal searches and detentions of Crimean Tatars carried out by the occupation authorities in Crimea. Once again, Russia violates the principles of the rule of law and human rights in the illegally occupied territory of Ukraine”,- the statement said.

We remind that on July 7, Russian security forces conducted mass searches in the dwellings of Crimean Tatars in the Bakhchisaray, Krasnohvardiiske and Simferopol regions of the occupied Crimea. Seven people were detained. All of them were taken to the FSB in Simferopol. On July 7, the so-called Kyiv District Court of Simferopol sent under house arrest a disabled person of the first group, Oleksandr Syzykov. On July 8, the so-called Kyiv District Court of the occupied Crimea chose a preventive measure for Ismet Ibrahimov, Zekirya Muratov and Vadym Bektemyrov in the form of detention.
