The Representative Office of the President of Ukraine in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea called on the international community to condemn the persecution of religious leaders of the Muslim community in Crimea by the Russian authorities. This was reported by the press service of the Mission, according to UNN.
The Mission condemns the illegal searches and detentions of activists and demands an immediate end to the persecution of religious leaders of the Muslim community. We call on the international community to respond and condemn the systematic persecution of Muslims in the occupied Crimea. The occupiers have no place on the Ukrainian peninsula - only the de-occupation of Crimea will be able to stop human rights violations and persecution of our citizens,
