“Since then, as Russia took control over the Peninsula, the situation with human rights, of course, very much deteriorated. We Express extreme concern that the persecution of the Crimean Tatars for their peaceful expression of their peaceful protest against the Russian occupation of Crimea continues. They are subject to harassment, detention, prosecution for their thoughts, for their actions when they challenge the occupation, and thus are accused of “violation of the territorial integrity of Russia”, – said the representative of Human Rights Watch in Ukraine Tanya Cooper.
