Silent Deportation: Crimean Tatars In Exile A Decade After Peninsula Annexed By Russia

RFE/RL’s @RadioSvobodaUkraine highlights the current situation of Crimean Tatars in exile and those still living in Crimea -- the persecution they face, and the reasons why so many have been forced to leave their homeland after the peninsula was illegally annexed by Russia in 2014. The now decade-long occupation echoes events 70 years ago when Soviet authorities forcibly deported Crimean Tatars in freight cars. #crimea #ukrainenews #russiaukrainewar
