A Crimean activist rejected a police warning ahead of the Day of Remembrance for the Victims of the Deportation of the Crimean Tatar People

On the eve of the Day of Remembrance for the Victims of the Deportation of the Crimean Tatar People, law enforcement officers attempted to issue a warning to activist Muslim Zevriev, a resident of the village of Sovetsky (Sovetsky District, Crimea).

According to Zevriev, the incident occurred while he was on his way to the mosque. Despite his explanation of the purpose of his visit, the police insisted on handing him the document. He refused, and was then asked to make a statement on camera. After a video recording was made, the Crimean Tatar was released.

The tradition of issuing warnings to Crimean Tatar public figures, activists, and human rights defenders shortly before May 18 (Day of Remembrance for the Victims of the Deportation) is observed annually. In 2024, journalist Lutfiye Zudiyeva, lawyers Lilia Gemedzhi and Rustem Kamilev, and public defender Seitosman Karaliev received warnings regarding the "inadmissibility of violating the law" during mass events. The documents obligated them to take measures to eliminate signs of extremist activity and public order violations.
