Mustafa Cemilev: Russia excludes Crimean Tatars from the POW exchange
Russia is biased against Crimean Tatars. When Moscow prepares lists of prisoners of war for exchange, it always excludes Crimean Tatar names. This was reported by the deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, the leader of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people Mustafa Cemilev.
Earlier, the human rights organization KrymSOS noted that in the Crimea, the Russian authorities, as part of the mobilization for the war against Ukraine, issued disproportionately more subpoenas to Crimean Tatars. The figure is up to 90%. The mass mobilization among this population also told the representative of the President of Ukraine in the Crimea Tamil Tasheva. According to her, hundreds of summonses were issued in areas with a high concentration of Tatars only in the first days of mobilization.
