Russian security forces abducted six Crimeans in 2025

Six cases of enforced disappearances were recorded in the occupied Crimea over the past six months. According to Tatyana Savchuk, Communications Manager of the CTRC, this number includes sentences and new arrests, including administrative ones.

Such data was published by the Crimean Tatar Resource Center.

According to the CTRC, since the beginning of 2025, Russian security forces have illegally detained 63 people, 13 of whom are Crimean Tatars. There were 99 cases of arrests, 48 of which were against Crimean Tatars.

Also, over the past six months, the CTRC recorded 23 searches, 12 of which were conducted by Russian security forces in the homes of Crimean Tatars. Last year, 51 searches were recorded for the same period.

Earlier, the Representative Office of the President of Ukraine in the ARC reported that as of July 7, 1435 cases of drawing up protocols under the administrative article on "discrediting" the Russian army were detected in Crimea.

Prior to that, the European Court of Human Rights found Russia guilty of suppressing freedom of speech and persecuting people for criticizing the war against Ukraine. The ECHR specifically emphasized that all "verdicts" of Russian courts in Crimea are illegal.

Earlier, we wrote that the temporarily occupied peninsula lacks doctors to work in ambulances. The Crimean hostile resources claimed that this was due to the "increase in tourist traffic," but all the facts show that it was due to a lack of staff.

Medical students after the 4th year of study, without academic debts, can become paramedics on ambulances: they can pass paramedic exams to obtain the relevant "documents," the hostile media noted.
