The Ministry of
Foreign Affairs of Ukraine is deeply alarmed with the outrageous and illegal
activities of Russian occupation authorities in the Autonomous Republic of #Crimea against the #Crimean_Tatars, resulted into massive illegal searches and
groundless detention of thirteen citizens of Ukraine - representatives of the
Crimean Tatar people on 11-12 February 2016.
By committing
flagrant violations of human rights and freedoms of our citizens who are held
hostages on their own land by the Russian occupation regime as a result of
Russian military aggression against Ukraine, the Kremlin repeats today, in 21st century,
horrible Soviet 1930’s repressions and 1944 genocide of the Crimean Tatars.
It is particularly
outrageous that the Kremlin tends to hide its genocide politics against Crimean
Tatars behind the smokescreen of sham fight against terrorism.
Ukraine calls on the
Russian Federation to stop immediately political repressions against citizens
of Ukraine and release illegally detained Emir Ussein Kuku, Vadim Sirik, Enver Belirov, Eldar Selyamiyev and
Muslim Aliyev.
We also call on
democratic world to increase joint tangible pressure on Russian occupant-state
as far as the ongoing events in the occupied Crimea are not only a flagrant
violation of the international law but also a blatant disrespect to all
universal human values.
