The head of Majlis of Crimean Tatar people Refat Chubarov claimed that ‘synchronicity in the actions of Russian top brassers and Russian propaganda resources testifies to a new series of vile provocations committed by Russian invaders against the Crimean Tatars’.

According to his words Kremlin answered on the most severe criticism contained in the recent report of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights ‘The situation with human rights in the temporarily occupied Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol (Ukraine)’ with new repressions against Crimean Tatars in temporary occupied Crimea.

‘Early in the morning on October 2, 2017 there were searches in different districts of Crimea. After that heads of families – Renat Suleymanov, Talyat Abdurakhmanov, Arsen Kubedinova and Seyran Mustafayev were arrested and transported in ‘FSB Department of Russia in Crimea’.

At the same time with searches without waiting for the results, Russian media, including ‘RIA News’, have posted an article under the name ‘FSB exposed in Crimea extremists ‘Tablighi Jamaat’, in which one of the local collaborators Zaur Smirnov said that, they say in the Crimea, ‘three cells of the Muslim organization Tablighi Jemaat’, Chubarov said.

‘Such excessive synchronicity in the actions of Russian top brassers and Russian propaganda resources testifies to a new series of vile provocations committed by Russian invaders in the Crimea with the goal of representing Crimean Tatars professing Islam to the international community as religious extremists.

At the same time, the use by Russian special services in their provocations of the name ‘Tablighi Jemaat’, previously completely unknown in the Crimea organization, indicates that all of their previous efforts to split the Crimean Tatars were unsuccessful’, the head of Majlis of Crimean Tatar people sured.

‘Majlis of the Crimean Tatar people, Ukrainian human rights organizations, as well as lawyers practicing in the occupied Crimea, closely monitor the actions of Russian invaders and bring them to the attention of the public’, Chubarov made a post in his Facebook.
