While russia tries to convince the world it is a "peaceful" nation, it invades other countries' territories and oppresses their patriotic citizens — people who have no connection to russia and have never wished to live under its rule.
Simultaneously, as it imprisons and suppresses, russia also abducts (and possibly brutally murders) Ukrainian citizens in the occupied territories, including Crimea. Since 2014, 24 people have been reported missing in Crimea, with no information about their fate to this day.
In some cases, the bodies of some missing or unlawfully detained individuals were found in Crimea bearing signs of torture. On March 15, 2014, his tortured body was discovered in Crimea. A brief description of the condition in which the body was found is in the second picture.
I urge you to share information about Ukrainian and Crimean Tatar political prisoners! Only media pressure can provide them with relative safety in russian custody and send a message to russia that the world is watching, that these people matter, and that their lives are valued.
