Thousands of men stand in a field in fezzes and skullcaps. Women are there too, but they stand separately. They have gathered in the village of Strohanivka, on the outskirts of Simferopol, for the Muslim funeral of three-year-old Musa Suleymanov. The toddler was found dead in a drain pit near his home in Strohanivka last month. Musa’s father, Ruslan Suleymanov, a Crimean Tatar activist is currently in pre-trial detention on what human rights groups say are politically motivated terrorism charges.
