The head of the Crimean Tatar Resource Center (CRC) called the main reasons for the persecution of the Crimean Tatars by the Russian Federation

The vast majority of political prisoners in Crimea are Crimean Tatars. Since the first days of the occupation of the peninsula, since 2014, they have been showing a pro-Ukrainian position, for which the Russian authorities continue to persecute them.

116 political prisoners in Crimea out of 150 are representatives of the Crimean Tatar people, according to the head of the Crimean Tatar Resource Center Eskender Bariyev.
“After each explosion or after each damage to the railway track, Russian security forces begin to raid the homes of activists of the Crimean Tatar national movement,” he said.

According to Bariev, Russia recognizes the political movements of the Crimean Tatars as terrorist organizations, and their representatives are imprisoned.
