Searches were conducted in five houses of the Crimean Tatars in occupied Crimea. Criminal cases were opened against minors over violation of the state symbols of the Russian Federation, according to the Crimean Solidarity movement.
“It became known that earlier, in May 2018, juvenile boys, whose houses are currently being searched, removed the flags of the Russian Federation from the administrative building of a village council and threw them out. In this regard, the investigation department filed a criminal case under Article 329 of the Criminal Code. This article provides for restriction of freedom, forced labor, arrest or imprisonment,” reads the report.
