The 30th of August marks the International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances. Since the occupation of Crimea by the Russian Federation, disappearances and abductions have become a regular practice.<\/p>\n
According to the Crimean Tatar Resource Centre, a total of 24 people, 18 of whom are members of the indigenous Crimean Tatar people, have been reported missing during the occupation of Crimea.<\/p>\n
Now according to our data the following people are considered missing in the occupied Crimea: Abduramanov Rizvan, Aliev Arsen, Aliev Server, Alyautdinov Marsel, Apselyamov Eskender, Aripov Shevket, Arislanov Mukhtar, Bondarets Ivan, Vashchuk Valery, Ganiev Ruslan, Dzhepparov Islyam, Zinedin Seyran, Ibragimov Ervin, Islyamov Dzhevdet, Kaplienko Maksym, Klapova Ekaterina, Kostenko Fedor, Soliev Farhad, Suyunov Arsen, Terekhov Arlen, Chernysh Vasily, Shaimardanov Timur, Shevketov Marlen and Shemshedinov Ismail.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, the Kremlin-controlled de facto Crimean authorities create only the appearance of investigating these cases, despite the fact that in accordance with UNGA Resolution A\/RES\/71\/205 Russia is labelled an occupying state and is responsible for the observance of human rights on this territory.<\/p>\n
The staff and experts of the CTRC have repeatedly informed the international community about these blatant facts of human rights violations on the international platforms of the UN, OSCE and PACE. We condemn the arrests, detentions and abductions of people, which are used in Crimea as a way of pressure and intimidation of the indigenous Crimean Tatar people and pro-Ukrainian activists.<\/p>\n
The CTRC once again emphasises the importance of disseminating information on kidnapping in the occupied territories of Ukraine. Unfortunately, the situation with Ismail Shemshedinov is an example of untimely reporting of a crime conducted by the rf. Thus, at first the relatives were silent, and when his parents and other relatives began to search and practically visit all Russian occupation and law enforcement agencies, they began to answer that they had no arrests, no searches, no detentions. And the whereabouts of this person are still unknown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
