On Friday, the residents of the so -called "clearing of the Protest" "Rifle" came to the building of the local administration and demanded a meeting with the authorities. The day before, they held a protest, demanding to stop building a fence. According to Crimea. Reali, activists were pushed by the police.

The dispute between the Polyana Protest Polyana "Rifleka" and the local authorities lasted since last summer. The administration controlled by Russia has been preparing for the construction of a new area on the site where the Crimean Tatars arbitrarily erected houses since 2006.

Protesters have already asked for help from Russian muftis, heads of Russian republics and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
