Applications have been submitted to the Supreme Court of Crimea to review the Mejlis ban

Applications have been submitted to the Supreme Court of Crimea to review the decision to ban the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people as an extremist organization. Lawyer Nikolai Polozov and first deputy head of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people Nariman Dzhelyalov submitted applications, the website of the Center for Journalistic Investigations reports .

The applicants demand to reconsider the decision due to newly discovered circumstances. They have in mind the decision of the International Court of Justice in The Hague of April 17 on the application of provisional measures in the framework of Ukraine's lawsuit against Russia. This decision calls on Russia to refrain from restricting the Crimean Tatars in representing their interests, including resuming the activities of the Mejlis.

The Supreme Court of Crimea recognized the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people as an extremist organization and decided to liquidate it on April 26, 2016.
