Every fourth resident of Crimea, who was caught publicly apologizing for his pro-Ukrainian position, was subjected to additional humiliation. Human rights activists of the Crimean initiative Irade came to these conclusions.
Most often, people were forced to publicly express confidence in the victory of the Russian army and confess their love for the Russian president. Other popular humiliations include being forced to sing the Russian national anthem or other patriotic songs. In addition, cases were recorded when Crimeans were forced to declare that they had reconsidered their beliefs and considered Ukrainians "cursed evil."
In their conclusions, representatives of Irade come to the conclusion that the practice of humiliating people with pro-Ukrainian sentiments is used in Crimea massively, systematically, and mostly by standard methods (excuse me by reading a legally verified and uncharacteristic text on video). This is done to demotivate people who demonstrate their pro-Ukrainian sentiments, as well as to prevent the growth of such sentiments by intimidation of the civilian population.
