The Crimean Tatar Resource Center and the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people are starting a storm Freedom, equality, justice – we will restore human rights in every corner of Ukraine on social networks dedicated to the International Human Rights Day. If you care about the fate of our country and people, then become part of our campaign.
After the occupation of Crimea in 2014, the Russian Federation, abusing its legislation for political purposes, unleashed mass repressions against Crimean Tatars and pro-Ukrainian activists on the peninsula. Detention, arrests, searches, abductions have become a regular practice.
According to the Crimean Tatar Resource Center, during the 9 years of occupation of Crimea, the number of political prisoners and those prosecuted in criminal cases reached 266, 189 of whom are representatives of the Crimean Tatar people. And the number of prosecutions for administrative cases reaches thousands of cases.
Unfortunately, after the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine, terror and political persecution became a reality for a huge number of Ukrainians. Russia actually continues the practice of the Soviet Union.
We invite everyone to join the storm “Freedom, equality, justice – we will restore human rights in every corner of Ukraine” and spread one of the posters on your pages in social networks (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Telegram) to show the occupier and the whole world that we we continue to fight for our victory, for the return of Crimea and other occupied territories of Ukraine, as well as for the cessation of human rights violations. Thus, we call on you to show solidarity with our compatriots in the occupied territories who have become victims of the occupation regime.
These posters were developed by activists of the international movement for the deoccupation of Crimea and solidarity with the Crimean Tatar people #LIBERATECRIMEA, and acquired their professional appearance thanks to the Ukrainian artist Andriy Yermolenko.
These posters were developed by the NGO Crimean Tatar Resource Center with the support of the International Renaissance Foundation.
