After deoccupation of Crimea, all pitical prisoners to be released – envoy

This was stated by Tamila Tasheva, the Ukrainian President’s envoy for the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, who penned an ed for the Ukrainian Pravda online newspaper, Ukrinform reports.

She noted that since the occupation, Russian-contrled courts have been actively erating on the peninsula, handing down illegitimate sentences to Ukrainian citizens in falsified cases. Each judgment will have to be reviewed individually to achieve justice for our pele.

"Ahead lies the procedure, sequence, and priority of review. First of all, it will be about the cases in which human rights viations were recorded, and those in which the occupation administrations were one of the parties. It is obvious that all our pitical prisoners, who are held in places of detention under falsified accusations by the occupiers, under sentences by puppet courts, will be released even without case review," Tasheva said.

According to the official, it is already necessary to form a personnel reserve for judicial bodies that will erate on the peninsula once it is liberated.
