A 61-year-old resident of the annexed Crimea Tamara Chernukha ceased to communicate three months ago after the detention of the FSB, write “Crimea. Roals” with reference to her relatives and Ukrainian human rights defenders. According to them, we are talking about persecution for "Gosizman".
Chernukha worked in the paramedic brigade of the ambulance of the village of Black Sea on the west coast of Crimea. In the summer of 2022, she received the Ambulance Emergencies Award. In addition to medical work, she wrote poetry about the Crimea - they were read at poetry evenings in the district library.
On February 5 of this year, representatives of the FSB broke to Chernukha home, took her in an unknown direction, then the security forces conducted a search in her house, during which they seized a system unit from a computer and documents. This was told by human rights activists from the "Association of Reintegration of Crimea." According to them, relatives and colleagues of the missing for a long time did not know about her detention, so at first they called the police to search for her, but they "called the leadership and ordered this to stop." Chernukha did not get in touch. Russian law enforcement agencies did not publicly report her detention and its causes.
Relatives and colleagues of the missing person turned to different power bodies controlled by Russia, but received answers about the alleged absence of Tamara Chernukha in the Crimean places of deprivation of lack of freedom and the absence of a criminal case. However, through colleagues of Chernukhi, her family was transferred non -public information that she was in jail on charges of "state treason."
Ukrainian human rights defenders called this detention with an example of hidden abductions of people that Russian security forces practice on the Crimean peninsula.
