According to the Crimean Tatar Resource Centre, a total of 24 people are considered to be missing since the occupation, 18 of them are the representatives of the indigenous Crimean Tatar people.
Currently, according to our data, the people listed as missing in the occupied Crimea are:
Abduramanov Rizvan Aliev Arsen Aliev Server Alyautdinov Marsel Apselyamov Eskender Aripov Shevket Arislanov Mukhtar Bondarets Ivan Chernysh Vasiliy Dzhepparov Islyam Ganiev Ruslan Ibragimov Ervin Islyamov Dzhevdet Kaplienko Maksim Klapova Katerina Kostenko Fedor Shaimardanov Timur Shemshedinov Ismail Shevketov Marlen Soliev Farhad Suyunov Arsen Terekhov Arlen Vaschuk Valery Zinedinov Seyran
Unfortunately, the Kremlin-controlled de facto Crimean authorities are only creating the appearance of investigating these cases, despite the fact that according to UN General Assembly Resolution A/RES/71/205, Russia is named the occupying state.
The CTRC staff and experts have repeatedly informed the international community about these blatant human rights violations at international platforms such as the UN, OSCE, and PACE. We condemn the arrests, detentions and abductions of people used in Crimea as a means of pressure and intimidation of the indigenous Crimean Tatar people and pro-Ukrainian activists.
