The moral pressure is increasing on the journalist of Radio Liberty,
\npolitical prisoner Vladyslav Yesypenko, who is under arrest. This was
\nreported to the Crimean Tatar Resource Center by his wife Kateryna
\nYesypenko.<\/p>\n
It is known that the man is in conditions that negatively affect his
\npsychological state. Nevertheless, the place of his detention receives
\nparcels with food and necessary things from his relatives.<\/p>\n
Earlier, MP Yaroslav Yurchyshyn said that Yesypenko could be sentenced
\nto a new term of imprisonment. However, the wife denied this
\ninformation, noting that it was only Yurchyshyn’s assumption.<\/p>\n
As a reminder, on March 10, 2021, journalist Vladyslav Yesypenko was
\ndetained by the occupiers during his trip to Crimea, where he was
\nmaking a photo report on Taras Shevchenko’s birthday in Akmesdzhit
\n(Simferopol). He was accused of preparing a terrorist attack, storing
\nexplosives, and working for the Ukrainian special services. Yesypenko
\nwas tortured and forced to confess to the actions he was accused of.
\nOn February 16, 2022, the man was sentenced to 6 years in a general
\nregime colony and a fine of 110 thousand rubles, and later the
\nsentence was reduced to 5 years.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, the persecution of journalists is widespread in the
\nRussia-occupied territories. For example, according to the CTRC, a
\nnumber of activists, citizen journalists, and bloggers from Crimean
\nSolidarity are already among the Kremlin’s numerous political
\nprisoners. In total, 23 Crimean journalists have been persecuted by
\nthe occupation authorities.<\/p>\n
20 Crimean journalists and activists are currently in FSB custody:
\nAziz Azizov, Amet Suleymanov, Asan Akhtemov, Volodymyr Dudka, Dmytro
\nShtyblikov, Ernes Ametov, Iryna Danilovych, Marlen Asanov, Osman
\nArifmemetov, Oleksiy Bessarabov, Remzi Bekirov, Ruslan Suleymanov,
\nRustem Osmanov, Rustem Sheikhaliev, Seyran Saliyev, Serhiy Tsygipa,
\nServer Mustafayev, Timur Ibragimov, Vladyslav Esypenko, Vilen
\nTemerianov.<\/p>\n
Three more journalists were released due to the expiration of their
\nsentences or as part of exchanges: Nariman Dzhelial, Mykola Semena and
\nNariman Memedeminov.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
