Russia’s overt terrorization in occupied Crimea continued on Jan. 25 with two more armed searches. The targets this time included Ebazer Islyamov from Nizhnegorsk, who was detained and then put through a court hearing despite all those responsible being informed that he has a brain tumour. An armed search was also carried out of the home of Crimean Tatar activist Enver Krosh in Dzhankoj, who was subjected to torture two years ago after refusing to collaborate with Russia’s FSB. The pretext in Islyamov’s case was a social network post from 2012, in Krosh’s a post from 2013, before Russia’s invasion and annexation of Crimea.
