June 10, 2020

The FSB of Russia claims to have detained a 20-year-old resident of Sevastopol Andrei Kulievich on suspicion of “inciting hatred or enmity.” The Crimean’s house has already been searched, the telephone and electronic gadgets were seized. This was reported by “Graty” media project.”

"A search was carried out at Kulievich’s house, the telephone and electronic gadgets were seized. After that, the  dweller of Sevastopol city was taken to the FSB’s office in Simferopol,"- the message said.

We want to remind  that in the I quarter of 2020 in  the occupied Crimea 15 searches were registered, 12 of which were carried out in the households of the Crimean Tatars. This indicator is lower than the number of searches for the I quarter of 2019. Then the CTRC recorded 45 searches. However, the trend of political and religious persecution has remained unchanged since the occupation of the peninsula.
