Rashists persecute representatives of the indigenous Crimean Tatar people in the temporarily occupied cities of Zaporizhia and Kherson regions

In the village. Kalanchak, Kherson Oblast, the russian military illegally broke into Osmanov Rustem's apartment, detained him and took him to Simferopol.  According to preliminary information, the Crimean Tatar is accused of involvement in the Noman Chelebidzhikhan battalion.

In occupied Melitopol, the militants of the “kadyrov” unit conducted an illegal search of Dlyaver Seitumerov's house.  They arrived in armored personnel carriers, smashed windows, broke doors and turned things over.  Dlyaver's family was safe outside Melitopol at the time.

Illegal detentions, searches and persecutions of Crimean Tatar people are contrary to international norms and are a direct violation of Article 5 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, which guarantees everyone the right to privacy, and Article 8 of the Convention - respect for private and family life.

I appeal to the UN Commission  for Investigation Human Rights Violations during the Russian Military Invasion of Ukraine to take into account these facts of violations of the rights of Crimean Tatars in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.
