Russia abducts Crimean Tatar for treason charges

Russian authorities in occupied Crimea have abducted a Crimean Tatar woman who was attempting to visit her dying aunt. The woman has been charged with treason for allegedly making donations to the Ukrainian Army. This case represents the latest in Russia's ongoing campaign of repression against Crimean Tatars, who have faced systematic persecution since Russia's 2014 annexation of the peninsula. The charges carry severe penalties under Russian law, potentially including lengthy prison sentences.
