The building of Mejlis was handed over to music school

September 7, 2023

The building in Aqmescit (Simferopol), which belonged to Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people, was given by the occupation authorities to the Aqmescit (Simferopol) Alemdar Karamanov Music School 2. This is reported by Kryminform with reference to the occupation administration of Simferopol.

The occupiers note that the building will be renovated.

Recall that on April 26, 2016, the Supreme Court of Crimea illegally ruled to ban the activities of the representative body of the Crimean Tatars – the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people. It was recognized as an extremist organization and banned on the territory of the occupied Crimea and the Russian Federation.

May 24, 2023 Russian occupants in Aqmesdzhit (Simferopol) nationalized the building of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people.

For the seventh year now, the CTRC team, together with authoritative international organizations and institutions, has been fighting against the illegal decision of the occupiers.

For its part, the Crimean Tatar Resource Center regularly sends reports and reports to the UN Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples, the UN Expert Mechanism on the rights of indigenous peoples, the UN Special Rapporteur on the right to peaceful assembly and freedom of association, in which it points out the illegality of this decision and non-compliance by Russia with the interim decision of the international court. In addition, representatives of the organization speak about the illegality of the ban on the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people in many speeches at international venues.
