The Chamber of Deputies of Luxembourg has adopted a resolution condemning systematic human rights violations against Crimean Tatars during the illegal occupation of Crimea by Russia.

This was announced by the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Ruslan Stefanchuk.

The document highlights historical repressions, including the deportation of 1944, and contemporary oppression: the ban of the Mejlis, restrictions on the use of Crimean Tatar language and culture, and mass arrests and searches.

“Admitting these crimes is an important step towards justice and bringing those responsible to justice. This decision underlines Luxembourg's unwavering support in Ukraine's struggle for freedom, sovereignty and European values,” Stefanchuk wrote on his Facebook page.
