The Federal Security Service (FSB) of the Russian Federation has detained an activist of the Ukrainian Cultural Center (ECC) Andriy Vynohradov in the Russian-occupied Crimea, founder of the ECC Leonid Kuzmin said.
“This morning, the FSB has detained the ECC activist Andriy Vynohradov,” he wrote on his Facbook page on Jan. 12.
In his comments to the post Kuzmin said that he did not know the grounds for the activist’s detention.
As reported, on Feb. 29, 2016 coordinator of the Crimean Human Rights Group Olha Skrypnyk reported on the arrest of three activists from the ECC, which operates in Crimea, by the FSB officers on the administrative border of the annexed Crimea.
The ECC was founded in Crimea on May 2015.
