Olha Pavlenko, an activist from Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula, has fled the Russian-occupied region after her home in Simferopol was searched by Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) and she was questioned by agents from Russia’s Investigative Committee.
A Crimea-based correspondent from Ukraine’s Hromadske Radio, Mykhaylo Batrak, said on Sept. 2 that he also fled the Russian-occupied region with Pavlenko after she was investigated over alleged ties with “a terrorist organization in Ukraine.”
