On Monday, October 17, a Russian court in the occupied Crimea passed a sentence on the Crimean Tatar Artur Memetshaev, who had previously been searched in the city of Henichesk. He was sentenced to 6.5 years in prison.
The Crimean Tatar Resource Center strongly protests and states that this decision is illegal, politically motivated and criminal. Such a policy of the Russian Federation is a demonstration of the fight against the political beliefs of people in the occupied Crimea.
The Crimean Tatar Resource Center demands that the sentence of the person involved in the case be annulled and that other political prisoners be released immediately.
