I'll start with the indigenous people, the Tatars. The Mejlis, which represents the Crimean Tatar people, has been outlawed in Crimea. The organization and the group that represents the indigenous peoples of Crimea have been outlawed. Their leaders have been either imprisoned or banned from entering Crimea. There has been constant repression of anyone, whether Ukrainian or others, who opposes the illegal occupation of Crimea, who demonstrates any semblance of gatherings, and there are strict laws around gatherings. Journalists have been put in jail; 40 of them are sitting in Russian prisons today. The human rights violations in Russia, not to mention even the churches.... Particularly the Ukrainian Catholic church is essentially outlawed in Crimea. There's a laundry list of human rights violations being committed in Crimea.
