Crimean security forces searched the house of journalist and researcher Dulber

Today, on December 4, at about five in the morning, Russian security forces broke into the home of Crimean Tatar researcher and journalist Lenora Dulber in occupied Sudak. As it has become known, the house where Lenora Dulber lives with her daughter is being searched by Russian punishers.

This was reported by the Chairman of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people Refat Chubarov.

Another invasion and search in the occupied Crimea, this time directed against Dulber, testifies to the further intensification of repression and pressure on the Crimean Tatar people in order to suppress their will and force Crimean Tatars out of their native Crimea.

The Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people is monitoring the situation and will continue to inform the Ukrainian and international community about another crime committed by the Russian occupation authorities in the temporarily occupied Crimea.

UPD: According to reports from the occupied Crimea, after the search, Russian punishers took Lenora Dulber to Simferopol, to the "Department of the Federal Security Service for the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol".

Also, in the annexed Crimea, security forces began to persecute 74-year-old historian Enver Seitmemetov for his long-standing statements about the crimes of the USSR. The man is accused of equating the actions of the Soviet government with the Nazis, which became possible after the adoption of repressive laws in Russia.

In the annexed Crimea, Russian authorities are prosecuting historian Enver Seitmemetov for comparing the actions of the USSR and Nazi Germany during World War II. Such a "violation" appeared in Russian legislation after the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. For Crimea, this is the first known case of application of this article.

Russia introduced the article on the "identification" of the USSR and Nazi Germany into its administrative code in April 2022. At that time, Russian troops were already actively fighting in Ukraine, and the parallels with the events of World War II and the role of the USSR in it were becoming more and more obvious. Instead, the Russian authorities began to punish anyone who drew such historical analogies.
