Президент Украины Владимир Зеленский в вечернем обращении анонсировал введение санкций в отношении правительства Грузии. Это станет юридическим ответом на действия грузинских властей по разгону акций протеста. По мнению украинского лидера, «власть в Грузии толкает страну на очевидную зависимость от России».
Crimean Tatar journalist Remzi Bekirov, sentenced to 19 years, was transferred from prison No. 2 in Yeniseisk. First, he must be delivered to a transit transfer point in Krasnoyarsk.
Previously, the Federal Penitentiary Service refused to transfer Remzi Bekirov to a colony closer to his home in the Rostov region or Stavropol region. He also tried to get his transfer time counted towards his prison sentence - so he could end up in a colony as early as March of this year.
Remzi Bekirov is a citizen journalist, an activist of Crimean Solidarity, a correspondent for the online publication Grani.ru. The Crimean Tatar has three minor children. After 2014, he covered repression on the peninsula.
In 2022, Bekirov was sentenced to 19 years in prison on charges of involvement in the Islamic political party Hizb ut-Tahrir. It is recognized as terrorist in Russia, but at the same time it operates absolutely legally in Ukraine, European countries and the world.
