The last time the two young Crimean Tatar men were seen alive, was on the evening of September 27th this year. Eighteen year-old Islyam Dzhepparov and his cousin Dzhevdet Islyamov, 23, had gone to visit an uncle in a small village near Belogorsk in the Crimea. As they were walking home at 7 pm, they were stopped on the road by two unknown men in black uniforms. The men frisked them, forced them into a blue minivan with tinted windows, and drove off fast.
