The US Embassy in Ukraine condemned the detention on the Kerch Bridge of 120 Crimean Tatar activists who wanted to support the defendants in the so-called Bilohirsk Hizb ut-Tahrir case. The press service of the department reported about this.
“Very concerned about Russian “authorities” targeting and detaining 120 Crimean Tatars simply for being concerned about their fellow citizens' illegal detention. We support Ukrainian police in their probe into yet another illegal deprivation of liberties. #CrimeaIsUkraine”,- the message says.
We remind that on January 11, the occupants en masse detained activists who were heading from Crimea to the city of Rostov-on-Don to announce the verdict to the defendants in the so-called Bilohirsk Hizb ut-Tahrir case.
