IN GORLIVKA THE TERRORISTS START AN ETHNIC CLEANSING FROM THE UKRAINIANS. The terrorists of the “Donetsk People Republic” in Gorlivka announced in the social networks the beginning of the ethnic cleansing from the Ukrainians. It is written in the group “Self-Defense of Gorlivka”. The terrorists write the following: «Today I ask you about one extraordinary service for our motherland. I ask you to report on your neighbours, friends and strangers. We are looking for the fire spotters on our territory. I cannot say that the request to report about the suspicious people is something new for Gorlivka, we had asked about it before, but now I make a list of all the sympathizers to the Ukrainian army, of all, who ever mentioned that Ukraine would free us, who is opposed to the “Donetsk People Republic” and who just mentioned in the conversation that he had been for Ukraine. These are the potential spotters! We have seen them already to understand who can be in their ranks. It means that in Gorlivka we start a cleaning. Cleansing from the Ukrainians. We live in a front-line city, we have a war and we do not tolerate, we do not sympathize with the enemy and in our hearts there is no place of pity for the traitors. Either they go themselves or we will arrange it. And remember the witnesses or evidence of your words, because we are not simple and we will severely punish the slanderers”. www.euroleader.in.ua

This was stated by the US permanent Representative to the United Nations Samantha Power at the UN Security Council on last Friday (06.03.2015). “In the report of the UN General Secretary Assistant for Human Rights Shimonovych it is not mentioned about the hundreds of the nameless victims who remained in Debaltseve. For example, last month, 500 corpses were found after the siege in the houses and basements where people were hiding from the shelling of the Russians” – she said. Samantha Power also reminded that the leader of the “DNR” had said that all who stayed in the city, were staying under their fire. The roads for leaving were also under the shelling of the terrorists. “It means, that people risked, staying and also leaving the city,” - she added.

IN THE OCCUPIED CRIMEA THE SITUATION REGARDING FREEDOM OF SPEECH HAS WORSENED VERY MUCH. The OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media Dunya Miyatovic says about the considerable deterioration of freedom of speech in the Crimea. This was said in a report on the OSCE website, published after the visit of Miyatovic to the occupied Crimea on 5th of March. “A continuous dismantling of the free Media in the Crimea and the attacks on the independent journalists and the voices of critics are very disturbing. The truth is always the first victim in the times of crisis, and it certainly concerns the Crimea. I urge all those responsible to stop a censorship in the Media and to ensure the safety of the journalists, “- Dunya Miyatovic said. On 5th of March in Simferopol the OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media met with the local journalists. She expressed a concern regarding the intimidation of the independent journalists and the Media by the self-defense forces and the local police. As Miyatovic noted, all Ukrainian TV channels in the Crimea were switched off. Instead, they were replaced by the Russian channels. At least 13 journalists of the independent Media, independent journalists and bloggers suffered from the threats, attacks and etc. In the premises at least of six Media and NGOs they conducted searches. Tatar Media also suffered from a censorship and their employees are being always detained.
IN THE CRIMEA A NEW WAVE OF THE PERSECUTION OF THE CRIMEAN TATAR ACTIVISTS HAS BEGUN. In the Crimea, they started the persecution of the activists of the rights defense Committee of the Crimean Tatar people. Mustafa Maushev, Kurtsyeyit Abdullayev were called for questioning. On 5th of March they called also Gulnara Seytumerova, Reshat Artmambetov and Camil Kadyrov for questioning. The Coordinator of the rights defense Committee of the Crimean Tatar people, a member of the Medjlis Eskender Bariev writes about it on his Facebook page. In their understanding, if you are talking about human rights, and also from the international documents, ratified by the Russian Federation and the Constitution of RF, it means you are a “separatist”, “extremist”, “agent”, etc. But they encourage the offenders and provocateurs, who used a green paint, provoked a scuffle at the peaceful meetings, prevented a peaceful indoor communications. www.euroleader.in.ua

EUROLEADER 2014 THE CRIMEANS HAD BEEN CUT OFF FROM THE OUTSIDE WORLD.
In the Crimea the ruling structures and subdivisions of the so-called “self-defense forces” ousted the Ukrainian army from the peninsula and cut off the residents of the peninsular from the outside world. In the document, published by the research centre of the Atlantic Council of the United States and the human rights organization «Freedom House», it was reported that the Russian occupation and the annexation of the Crimea gave the beginning of a great number of the human rights violations. All the residents of the Crimea, whom the Kremlin considers as disloyal, risk to be subjected to the physical violence, deportation and even going to a prison. In the Crimea they persecute the dissidents, members of the ethnic and religious minorities, independent Media; they conduct the forced nationalization of the state property of Ukraine. Earlier it was reported that the human rights organization «Freedom House» had published a new report on human rights violations in the Crimean peninsula. The document contains the persecution data of the opposition in the Crimea, the attempts to turn the region into the “information ghetto.”
