Human rights in Crimea
A deputy head of the Crimean Tatar Majlis, Nariman Dzhelyal (Dzhelyalov), who was detained by the Russian FSB in Crimea is facing up to 15 years in prison. According to Majlis head Refat Chubarov, Dzhelyalov and four other people detained on 4 September are suspected of sabotage.
He said that Dzhelyal spent many hours in handcuffs and with a bag over his head. He was also subjected to psychological pressure, Chubarov learnt from Dzhelyal's lawyer.
Chubarov also described the detentions as Russia's revenge for Kyiv's Crimean Platform initiative.
Dzhelyal's detention provoked mass protests by Crimean Tatars, 60 of whom were briefly detained. As of 5 September, two protest participants have not been released.
