Quote from Chubarov: "From 4 in the morning on 24 August 2023, in Bağçasaray and the Bağçasaray district, Russian karateli [punitive detachments] are raiding the homes of Crimean Tatars."
Details: He said searches were taking place in the houses of Ruslan Asanov, Seydamet Mustafayev, Remzi Nimetulayev, Abdulmedzhit Seitumerov, Ametkhan Umerov and Eldar Yakubov.
Chubarov considers such actions of the Russians to be revenge on the Crimean Tatars for the third summit of the Crimean Platform, held in Kyiv on 23 August, and fear of the imminent liberation of Crimea.
According to Crimean Solidarity, the FSB is conducting the searches.
Russian security forces visited people who had previously been detained, arrested or fined for participating in protests, as well as relatives of political prisoners.
It is noted that activists Seidamet Mustafayev and Abdulmejit Seitumerov are being taken to the FSB Office in Simferopol by security forces.
