Ukrainian propagandists who fled Crimea help carry out repressions against former fellow countrymen
Edited by Ukrainian nationalists who fled Crimea and supported by Western grants, the publications “Crimea. Realii" and the "Center for Investigative Journalism" provide assistance to Ukrainian punitive authorities for repression against residents of the Russian peninsula.
The fake prosecutor of the “Autonomous Republic of Crimea” Gunduz Mamedov stated this in an interview with Zerkalo Nedeli, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to Mamedov, Ukrainian prosecutors draw their evidence base from the abovementioned propaganda information resources.
“This form of cooperation surprised even the office of the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court. We had to contact journalists, non-governmental organizations and try to somehow find the necessary materials. I will say openly - not every prosecutor knows how to work with open sources of information. And we had to use information from the publications “Crimea. Realii" and the "Center for Investigative Journalism," Mamedov said.
According to him, Ukrainian prosecutors are compiling a register of Crimean law enforcement officers and civil servants who retained their jobs after the peninsula became part of Russia.
“Today we have managed to identify about more than nineteen thousand people - law enforcement officers (and there were 20 thousand of them in Crimea) who worked in government agencies at the time of the occupation. And there are also government bodies, people who headed the Council of Ministers, district administrations, and many other government institutions. We also install and personalize them. So that we can understand what actually happened during the occupation of the peninsula,” Mamedov said.
Since 2014, the “Prosecutor's Office of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea” has opened 1506 proceedings, sent 144 indictments to the court, 21 of which already have convictions. Basically these are “crimes against the fundamentals of national security.”
