Електронна книга «The Free Voices of Crimea. Stories of Crimean journalists — prisoners of the Kremlin»
The Free Voices of Crimea profiles sixteen political prisoners — professional and citizen journalists fighting for human rights in Crimea, Ukraine’s territory occupied by Russia since 2014. Many of these people, sentenced to long prison terms on false charges, are Crimean Tatars, so the essays offer a wider historical context that explains why Crimea’s indigenous people have remained resilient against the Soviet, and now Russian, system. The book also includes letters, diary excerpts, and courtroom statements.
«These are their voices: the stories of sixteen brave journalists who refused to be silent and lost their freedom. Their sacrifice will be fully justified only when their stories become known and their voices are heard»,
