Persecution in Crimea
Recently, it was reported that in the temporarily occupied Crimea, Russians are intensifying "counter-diversionary measures" aimed at the disloyal population.
At the end of August, Russian occupiers conducted large-scale searches in Bakhchysarai and the Bakhchysarai district of occupied Crimea. Russians searched the homes of Crimean Tatars.
