A Crimea court jailed a senior woman for 12 years on charges of treason

A court in Sevastopol found the woman guilty for “performing reconnaissance actions” focused on fleet communications. The Sevastopol City Court said in a statement on Monday, “This information is covered with state secrets. If it was passed, this data could be used to obstruct the security of the Russian Federation.” According to him, the trial took place behind closed doors, as information on state secrets appeared in the contents of the case.

According to TASS, the verdict is still invalid and Bakhtisaraja, a woman living in Crimea, may appeal. Ukrainian Ombudsman Denysova called the verdict “illegal”. Denisova on Telegram’s social network said, “I call on the international community to use pressure tools to increase pressure on the Russian Federation to release the illegally detained Ukrainian citizens as soon as possible and to bring terror against them.” Be finished. “

Russia occupied the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea in 2014, and since then, according to the international human rights organization Human Rights Watch (HRW), the human rights situation has deteriorated there. Crimean Tatars specifically complain about harassment. The Moscow Times reported on Monday that hundreds of Crimean people – notably Crimean Tatars – are jailed on charges of espionage or terrorism.
