The Crimean Desk of our Ukrainian Service says that two Crimean Tatars have been reported missing:
Two young Crimean Tatars have been reported missing in the capital of the annexed region, Simferopol.
Relatives of university student Artyom Dayrabekov told RFE/RL on October 14 that he and his friend Belyal Bilyalov had been missing for more than 24 hours.
They said they have asked police for help and visited the city's hospitals and morgues.
Human Rights Watch said earlier this month that at least five people, including three Crimean Tatars, remained missing after "hostile encounters" and that other Crimean Tatars have been found dead, with signs of torture, since the peninsula's annexation by Russia in March.
A 25-year-old Crimean Tatar man, Edem Asanov, was found dead last week after disappearing.
Most Crimean Tatars, a Turkic-speaking Muslim minority native to Crimea, opposed the annexation.
