They are in an increasingly perilous position with Russia and the illegal Crimean authorities engaged in a campaign of repression, persecution and harassment. The latest example took place earlier this week when the building of the Crimea Tatars' self-governing body, the Mejlis, was impounded by Russia's Federal Bailiffs Service.
