Earlier, we described the repressions of the occupiers against the Crimean Tatar newspaper “Kyrym” and the human rights activist associated with it, Bekir Mamutov.
“Kyrym” has been published in the Crimean Tatar language since July 1989 and is one of the first publications in this language after the return of the Crimean Tatars to Crimea.
On May 17, in Crimea, the occupiers’ punitive forces conducted “searches” in the homes of the famous Crimean Tatar philologist Bekir Mamutov and the founder of the newspaper “Kyrym” Seyran Ibragimov.
On June 7, the illegal “Kiev District Court” in occupied Simferopol “fined” the editorial board of the newspaper “Kyrym” 300 thousand rubles for “discrediting” the aggressor army.
In June, a number of “judges” Yanina Okhota of the same “Kyiv District Court” “fined” the editor of “Kyrym” Bekir Mamutov 100 thousand rubles for “discrediting the Russian army”.
In August, the so-called “magistrate judge” Sergei Moskalenko “fined the founder of “Kyrym” Seyran Ibragimov 250 thousand rubles for abuse of freedom of information” in occupied Simferopol.
We also wrote about the persecution of Mamutov in the “media” and “channels” controlled by the aggressor, for “refusing to receive state funding” from the occupiers, publications about the Holodomor of 1932-1933, and for the fact that Mamutov’s son, Suleiman Mamutov, “was elected in 2022 as a representative from Ukraine to the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues.”
Let us recall that the aggressor has traditionally been for several decades. promoted his puppets to this UN body from the “Eastern Europe and Eurasia region”, who lost to the Crimean Tatar candidate two years ago.
Now, after the occupiers “considered appeals” on the described fines, an interesting detail has come to light.
As activists report, Bekir Mamutov’s “offense”, as follows from the “case materials” initiated by the occupiers’ “Center for Combating Extremism”, consisted in publishing the report of the UN Secretary-General, read by Antonio Guterres at the 53rd Session of the Human Rights Council, held in June-July 2023.
Thus, both the official UN website, from where the editors took the report, and the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres himself, according to the occupiers’ “court” in Simferopol, are “extremists” whom the aggressor’s punishers are also not averse to “fining”.
