Halya Coynash: Wave of repression against independent Crimean journalists
An officer of the Russian riot police force OMON stands guard outside the offices of Crimean Tatar TV channel ATR in Simferopol on Jan. 26, 2015.
One journalist has been taken away by Crimean FSB officers following a search of her home on March 13. Another search was carried out of the home of parents of a journalist forced to leave Crimea after the so-called 'referendum' last March. As the anniversary of Russia's formal annexation of Crimea approaches, more arrests have been made of Crimean Tatars over a demonstration before Russia's invasion.
