The Committee on the Rights of the Crimean Tatar people has voted an appeal to the U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon for “preventing the extermination of the Crimean Tatar people” at a conference in Simferopol. RBC-Ukraine reports about that with reference to BBC.
In particular, the document states that “the indigenous population – the Crimean Tatars – became a target for terror and physical violence”. The delegates appealed to the U.N. Secretary-General asking him to protect the Crimean Tatars from having to serve in the Russian army.
According to this web-based media, “titushky” tried to provoke a fight with conference participants and to disrupt the event in such a way but eventually it was managed to avoid the clashes.
As a reminder, in December 2014, “the prosecutor” of Crimea Natalia Poklonskaya served a warning on the Mejlis for a ban on demonstrations on the peninsula.
