"In addition, on November 23 in Simferopol, the Crimean Tatar Deghermanji was detained for dubious accusations. The critical state of his health is taken into account, it is important that he is immediately provided with access to the necessary medical care. ”
In this regard, the EEAS representative emphasized that “full, free and unhindered access” to the Crimea should be provided to international observers of human rights.
"The European Union expects that all illegally detained citizens of Ukraine on the illegally annexed Crimean peninsula and in Russia will be released as quickly as possible," the EU is still committed to its policy of non -recognition of the illegal annexation of Crimea and Sevastopol. "

After the verdict was announced, the political prisoner said: “You will still not achieve the main goal that you pursued all the way - to intimidate me personally and in my face of all people, and even those who have already begun to translate in relation to the state that occupied the Crimea four years ago. People already see what kind of state it is, and the discontent of people is more and more again. And that you will never intimidate us here, it is completing the presence here.
