Human Rights Watch (HRW) has released its 2023 global human rights report. In this document, human rights activists pay special attention to the temporarily occupied Crimea.
“The human rights situation in Russian-occupied Crimea has worsened. Russian authorities ruthlessly persecuted all opponents of the occupation, especially politically active members of the Crimean Tatar people, as well as lawyers, journalists and activists”,- the report notes.
In particular, human rights activists took into account the data of experts from the Crimean Tatar Resource Center on human rights violations in occupied Crimea: the number of detentions, arrests, fines, and the like.
Let us recall that the CTRC systematically monitors human rights violations in the occupied Crimea and in the newly occupied territories of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions. Every quarter we present an Analysis of human rights violations in these territories.
On Tuesday, January 16 at 12:00, the Crimean Tatar Resource Center at the Ukrainian Crisis Media Center will present an analysis of human rights violations in occupied Crimea for 2023. In addition, the CTRC will provide an analysis of human rights violations in the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions during the period of the full-scale war in Ukraine.
