Halya Coynash: Russia’s brutal revenge on Crimean Tatar political prisoner for refusal to collaborate
A Russian flag flies in the courtyard of the parliament building in Simferopol, Crimea, on March 18, 2014, while workers dismantled the inscription reading \"The Supreme Council of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea\" in Crimean Tatar language.
Crimean Tatar political prisoner Mustafa Degermendzhy turns 27 on May 22. It is his second birthday in custody in Russian-occupied Crimea facing absurd charges linked with a pre-annexation demonstration over which Russia has no jurisdiction.
