As we previously reported, on February 23, a railway track was blown up near the Poshtova station in the Bakhchisarai district. After this fact, the Russian occupiers began to conduct a series of criminal “searches”, allegedly in “search for saboteurs”, but the aggressor’s punishers invaded the houses of the Crimean Tatars.
So, according to the Crimean Tatar Resource Center, on February 28, the occupiers searched the house of Soin Dzhelilov in the Simferopol district, on March 6 – in the house of Edem Murtazaev in Sudak, on March 9 – in the house of Memet Ashurov in the Krasnogvardeisky district and at Asan Abduramanov in Bakhchisarai, on March 11 – in the house of Akhtem Ismailov in the Simferopol district, on March 12 – in the house of a member of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people Lemmar Yunusov.
Also, on the morning of March 11, the aggressor’s punishers conducted a “search” in the house of the Crimean Tatar Lenur Urkumet in Dzhankoy, while he was “interrogated” for several hours and forced to “undergo a polygraph”.
In fact, these punitive actions are least of all similar to the “search for saboteurs” and have become a new round of intimidation of Crimean Tatar activists on the occupied peninsula.
