The U.S. Mission to the OSCE has called on Russia to cease efforts to conceal information about the situation in the occupied Crimea.

“Crimea is and remains an integral part of Ukraine. The US calls on the Russian occupation authorities in Crimea to cease efforts to stifle the free flow of information about the situation in Crimea, and allow citizens of Ukraine to move within their own country,” the Mission wrote on its official Twitter account.

In 2019, the Crimean Tatar Resource Center recorded 86 searches, 64 of which were carried out in the houses of Crimean Tatars.
