18 Crimean Tatars held in custody of FSB – Mejlis

"To date, 18 Crimean Tatar political prisoners [who are held in custody of Russia’s Security Service and Investigative Committee departments in Crimea]," he said. According to Bariev, despite the fact that leader of the Crimean Tatar people Mustafa Dzhemilev informed about 14 political prisoners in early May, "we see ongoing repressions" of the Russian de facto authorities in Crimea against the Crimean Tatars.
