🟣May 18, 2026 marks the 82nd anniversary of the forced deportation of the Crimean Tatar people – one of the most brutal crimes of the Stalinist totalitarian regime and an act of genocide against the indigenous people of Crimea.

May 18, 2026 marks the 82nd anniversary of the forced deportation of the Crimean Tatar people – one of the most brutal crimes of the Stalinist totalitarian regime and an act of genocide against the indigenous people of Crimea. In May 1944, under the false pretext of alleged collaboration with Nazi Germany, the Soviet regime carried out a deliberate act aimed at destroying the Crimean Tatar people as a national community – depriving them of their homeland, language, culture, traditions, and historical memory. Ukraine has recognized the 1944 deportation of the Crimean Tatar people as an act of genocide. We are grateful to Canada, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland, Czechia, and the Netherlands for adopting similar decisions, restoring historical justice and honoring the memory of the victims of this crime. We call on other countries to join the international recognition of the genocide of the Crimean Tatar people. Following the beginning of Russia’s occupation of Crimea in 2014, the occupying authorities continued the persecution and discrimination against Crimean Tatars who remained in their homeland. The ban on the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People, fabricated criminal cases, forced passportization, pressure on religious communities, and the creation of unbearable living conditions are all modern forms of Russia’s forced displacement of Ukraine’s indigenous people from their land. Such actions constitute grave violations of international humanitarian law, international human rights law, and the international legal obligations of the occupying state. Ukraine honors the memory of all victims of the deportation and expresses deep respect for the Crimean Tatar people, who, despite decades of repression, preserved their national identity, culture, language, and unwavering aspiration for freedom and justice. We call on the international community to strengthen consolidated political, diplomatic, sanctions, and legal pressure on the Russian Federation in order to stop human rights violations in temporarily occupied Crimea, secure the release of all unlawfully detained persons, ensure the protection of the rights of the indigenous Crimean Tatar people, and restore Ukraine’s territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders. We demand that Russia immediately cease all forms of repression against Crimean Tatars, revoke the illegal ban on the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People, release all political prisoners, and comply with its international obligations as an occupying state. The memory of the 1944 tragedy remains an inseparable part of our shared history and a warning to the world about the dangers of impunity for totalitarian regimes. Restoring justice, protecting human rights, de-occupying Crimea, and ensuring the return of the Crimean Tatar people to life in freedom on their native land remain our common tasks. Crimea is Ukraine. Qırım – Ukrainadır. Qırım serbest olacaq!

#Ukraine #Russia. She is #IrynaHorobtsova, a Ukrainian political prisoner kidnapped by Vladimir Putin. My goddaughter in the #SponsorAPoliticalPrisonerOfTheWorld campaign by the @caslainstitute. Iryna turned 41 on May 13, the same day that, four years ago, Russian soldiers arrived at her home, searched her apartment, and took her away, telling her parents that she was being taken for questioning. During the Russian occupation of Kherson, among other things, Iryna helped the local hospital: she transported doctors from remote areas, searched for and delivered food, medicines, and bandages, and brought medication to critically ill patients in remote settlements of the Kherson region. She also participated in peaceful protests against the Russian occupation in Kherson and posted photos of them on social media. After her abduction, Iryna’s parents began contacting the occupation authorities and discovered that she had been taken to Crimea. For some time, her exact whereabouts were unknown, until a Crimean human rights defender contacted by Iryna Horobtsova’s relatives discovered that she was being held in Detention Center No. 1 in Simferopol. Later, the lawyer learned from the Russian FSB that Iryna had allegedly opposed the so-called “special military operation,” which was the reason for her detention. Iryna was imprisoned under Article 276 of the Russian Criminal Code (“Espionage”) for a period of 10.6 years. In the summer of 2025, Iryna wrote to her parents saying that she was working in a prison sewing workshop as part of the forced labor system and that she was being held in a cell designed for 45 women. Iryna’s family currently has no information about her physical or mental condition. They have not seen her for four years. Iryna needs medical attention. Before her arrest, she had been diagnosed with a brain aneurysm. This condition requires constant medical supervision, which is not provided in Russian prisons. #FreeIrynaHorobtsova #SponsorAPoliticalPrisonerOfTheWorld
