Since the annexation of Crimea, 362 political prisoners and persecuted persons have been recorded, 226 of whom are representatives of the Crimean Tatar people.
This was reported by the Crimean Tatar Resource Center (CTRC).
The CTRC divides political prisoners and persecuted into five subcategories:
- convicted and serving sentences in colonies: 171 people, 104 of whom are Crimean Tatars;
- restricted or on probation: 48 people, of whom 25 are Crimean Tatars;
- are in pre-trial detention centers: 52 persons, including 34 Crimean Tatars;
- released: 57 people, of whom 35 are Crimean Tatars;
- persecuted: 34 people, including 28 Crimean Tatars.
In addition, the Center added that these statistics indicate the targeted persecution of Crimean Tatars, who make up the majority of political prisoners on the annexed peninsula.
Earlier, the CTRC published a full list of elderly people enslaved by the occupation authorities of Crimea. According to their data, 17 political prisoners over the age of 60 are being held in the colonies and pre-trial detention centers of the occupied Crimea. Most of them have been sentenced to 5 to 18 years in prison. Among them is Serhiy Tsyhypa, a journalist and writer from Nova Kakhovka, Kherson region.
The Center called on Russia to immediately release all of the above-mentioned people and other political prisoners, as well as to stop systematically violating human rights in Crimea.
The organization noted that such terms of imprisonment can be fatal for elderly Crimean political prisoners. Especially if they have severe and chronic illnesses, which are aggravated by the conditions of detention in the pre-trial detention center or colony, systematic ignoring of complaints by the administration of the institutions and inadequate, untimely medical care.
