The Embassy of Ukraine in Nigeria has expressed its resolute protest over the decision of the judicial authority of the occupied Autonomous Republic of Crimea, which banned the Mejlis of the Crimean Muslims by declaring it an extremist organisation.
The Ukrainian Ambassador to Nigeria, Dr. Valerii Aleksandruk, in a statement made available to Daily Trust, called for immediate lifting of the ban.
The Supreme Court in the Russia-occupied region had, on April 26, 2016, granted the petition of the pseudo “prosecutor” seeking to ban the Mejlis of the Crimean Muslims, recognising its activities as extremist.
The envoy described the decision as another glaring evidence of the systemic persecution of the Crimean Tatar people due to their principled position regarding the Russian occupation of Crimea.
He however believed that putting an end to systemic violations of fundamental human rights and freedoms in the occupied Crimea can only be possible if the international community compels ‘state-aggressors’ to comply strictly with international laws and legal obligations.
