CRIMEAN TATAR BLOGGER AND JOURNALIST NARIMAN MEMEDEMINOV HAS BEEN DETAINED A
YEAR AND A HALF IN A RUSSIAN PRE-TRIAL DETENTION CENTER FOR FREEDOM OF THOUGHT.
Posted on September 18, 2019 by chervonaruta

Blogger and journalist Nariman Memedeminov
Crimean Tatar blogger and journalist Nariman Memedeminov has been detained a
year and a half in a Russian pre-trial detention center essentially for freedom
of thought. He is accused basically of journalistic activity. He is being
persecuted on national, religious and professional grounds.
On September 16, he was named by lawyer Liliya Gemadzhi, along with other
activists and journalists persecuted in occupied Crimea, at the Human Dimension
Implementation Meeting (HDIM) of OSCE (Organization of Security and Cooperation
in Europe) participating States in Warsaw (Europe’s largest annual human rights
and democracy conference). The accusations against Memedeminov are contrived –
he is charged with basically journalistic activity.
An activist with the public association “Crimean Solidarity,” he was detained at
a Bakhchysarai district building. The court arrested and charged him under Part
2 of Art. 205 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (Public calls for
terrorist activity committed using the Internet).
Speaking in court, Memedeminov said the investigation refuses to recognize him
as a citizen of Ukraine and pursued him on a national, religious and
professional basis and tries to present him as a native of Uzbekistan in order
to deny the fact of his belonging to the Crimean Tatar people.
Crimean lawyer Edem Semedlyaev believes that Memedeminov’s active civic position
was the reason for the persecution of the journalist: “He is a citizen
journalist, blogger and streamer, that is, he is one of the first who was not
afraid and began coming to the courts in support of the Crimean Tatars.
Now Nariman Memedeminov is being held in a pre-trial detention center in
Russia’s Rostov-on-Don.
The National Union of Journalists of Ukraine (NSZH) called Memedeminov’s arrest
in Crimea “a violation of the right to freedom of thought, and free access to
and dissemination of information, including through the Internet.”
The North Caucasian District Military Court in Rostov-on-Don questioned a
religious scholar, Timur Urazmetov, who was part of a group that was preparing
comprehensive linguistic and religious expertise in civil journalist
Memedeminov’s case. It was this group that formed the foundation of a criminal
case [against him]. This was reported by lawyer Eden Semedlyaev.
“We insist that [any] conclusions on Islamic statements should be made by a
person who professes Islam, who understands the subtleties and specifics of the
religion. This should be a specialist who has some knowledge of Islam, and not
just a culturologist history teacher, author of several works of dubious science
about the Hizb ut-Tahrir party, who believes that such publications allow him to
[claim] religious expertise,” said the lawyer.

MY LITTLE STRUGGLE. OLEG SENTSOV’S FULL SPEECH AT THE YES-2019 CONFERENCE
Posted on September 15, 2019 by chervonaruta
By NV.ua Staff
09.13.2019 [September 13, 2019]
Translated and edited by Voices of Ukraine
Freed Ukrainian political prisoner Oleg Sentsov opening the YES 2019 conference
by holding up the jar onto which he had pasted the yellow-blue stripes of the
Ukrainian flag in the first month of his captivity in Russian prison.
I am very grateful to the organizers for inviting me to this forum – I was told
that I could talk about anything. In principle, I always say what I think, I try
to talk about the main thing. And today I will talk about the main thing. Today
I’m going to talk about a jar, a simple plastic jar, and what should be in it. I
will now explain to everyone what I had in mind. Where I was, in prison, for
five years, every little thing, everything has big meaning. They don’t throw
anything out there, they use everything, and an important thing, is tea. In a
bag, in a box, and you can keep it in a jar – I kept it in a jar.
This was a difficult jar. I had two notebooks – yellow and blue. I didn’t order
them, they just handed them to me in my gear, it turned out. This was still back
at the very beginning, in the first month. I took and cut two strips from these
notebooks – blue and yellow – and glued them to this jar and wrote two words:
the word “Glory” and the word “[to] Ukraine.” And I put it in the most visible
place. All five years while I was traveling the prisons of the Russian
Federation, she [the jar with the Ukrainian flag colours on it] was with me and
I always put her in the most prominent place.
She was very annoying to the jailers. They constantly teased me, tore off the
flag, tried to stomp on it – there were many such small hassles over this jar.
It was my small struggle. Of course, this was not Ilovaisk or Debaltseve. I was
not in Donbas, I was not in the war – I was arrested two days before I was
supposed to go there. Well, that’s how it happened – everyone has their own
destiny and we do not choose it. And I waged my own little battle. Known to no
one, visible to no one – one on one with this system. For myself, for my
dignity, for my country and for two stripes – yellow and blue.
Here is that jar [Sentsov holds up the jar – Ed.]. In prisons, Russian prisoners
also have so-called badges. Here is mine [holds up his badge – Ed.]. The red
band means “inclined to escape,” “special prisoner,” “special control,” well,
and all other instances. I took it with me, to remember.
In some armies of the world, there is such a tradition – not even a tradition,
but as a rule – that when a soldier dies, his commander tears off a token to
collect reports of the dead. This is a sad rule, a sad tradition. I would like
to start another: I would very much like for this jar to be filled, as soon as
possible, with the badges of those still in captivity in Russia, the Donbas and
Crimea.
Mr. President: make sure that this jar is full, as soon as possible.

VOICES OF UKRAINE REMEMBERS DMITRY TYMCHUK: “THANK YOU ALL FOR TRANSLATING MR.
TYMCHUK’S BLOG.”
Posted on June 22, 2019 by M. Stanislav
06.22.2019 (June 22, 2019)
Written by Sophia Isajiw, Voices of Ukraine English editor-in-chief and edited
by Voices of Ukraine editor and translator Maria Stanislav, representing the
Voices of Ukraine Team
It is with the greatest sadness in our hearts that we write about the passing of
Dmitry Tymchuk as the result of a gunshot wound to his head on 19 June 2019, the
strange circumstances of which are still under investigation.
Dmitry has been a trusted friend to us at Voices of Ukraine (VoU) for the past 5
years, during which time we translated over 555 of his iconic Information
Resistance (IR) group military summaries and articles, daily for over 3.5 of
those years, after making an agreement with him we would act as the official
English language translators for their full summary reports beginning in March
2014. Dmitry very graciously agreed to be a specialist in our advisory group
from the early days of Maidan, and always gave us very succinct and solid advice
when asked. Not long after, NATO wisely approached him to advise them.
Dmitry was inspirational – a true professional on the outside and a quick-witted
creative thinker on the inside – the working definition of a reformed,
professional Ukraine.
Dmitry Tymchuk met with Voices of Ukraine translator and editor Maria Stanislav
in Kyiv in September of 2015
He was solid, honest, truthful, candid, precise, an excellent observer,
respectful and generous with his time – answering our many questions, sharing
insightful reflections, making time to meet with us. In person, his real-life
personality matched his online voice. He was poetic; when we messaged him with
“Dmitry, are you here?? We have more questions, please,” he wrote back: “Yes, of
course, for you, even a star from the sky.” He had a finely developed,
intelligent and subversive humour we couldn’t get enough of. As one reader
wrote, in early 2014: “I found the term ‘Orthodox Communists’ amusing, a true
oxymoron. Thank you all for translating Mr. Tymchuk’s blog.” All of us at VoU
fell in love with those early writings and posts of his about the situation in
Ukraine before he settled into the military summaries – before he had to reign
in the historic nuances and ironic subtle entendres to be more widely understood
by NATO and a diverse public who had by then (April 2014) started following him
from all over the world. But it would still slip into his summaries from time to
time: “Let the Opposition Block concern themselves with giraffe husbandry!,” he
wrote in late November of that year.
While we worked furiously to translate his summaries into mostly English, but
also German (over 11 articles), French, Japanese (over 60 articles), Italian, we
received enthusiastic thanks for these translations from the
Philippines, Poland, Canada, the USA, Australia, Japan, the United Arab
Emirates, from Moscow to Magadan in Russia, Lithuania, Turkey, Italy, parts of
Latin America and beyond. One reader wrote: “I am always in awe of Mr. Tymchuk’s
intensely informative and articulately soulful posts. Honestly, his awesome ‘On
the Front’ info is so chilling; I find my jaw dropping and my heart-rate
escalating as I’m reading. As I finish reading his visually stimulating
narratives, I find I have to catch my breath and take a moment to de-stress. Thx
for the terrific job you do and thx to Mr. Tymchuk, for finding time to post his
observations.” Another reader wrote: “I’d just like to let you know that Dmitry
Tymchuk’s translated articles that you publish are a great source of knowledge
for us about difficult situation in Ukraine. Best wishes from Poland to you and
all Ukrainians!” And yet another: “Hello Dmitry. This is an excellent record of
the momentous events taking place in Ukraine. Most newspapers and tv news here
in the USA do NOT report Ukraine news every day. So, your blog is the best
source of Ukraine news I have found on the internet. Keep up the good work!”
And he did, unceasingly.
When he wrote to us in Ukrainian, his Ukrainian was literary and beautiful. But
he told us it was important to him to post in Russian so that all
Russian-speakers would clearly understand and have a record to refer to for
posterity. We shared his concern that a record be kept. Those very dark days on
Maidan and horrific events in Donbas suddenly felt that much safer to know that
Dmitry and the IR group turned their expertise and efforts towards them. We
never stopped worrying for Dmitry and all of the IR contributors. And until more
information from the investigation into his death comes forth, we strive here to
just remember and honour Dmitry Tymchuk, his gift and his legacy. We are proud
of the archival record we have been able to establish for the English-speaking
world from his work, and to have been able to amplify his voice that much
further into the world so as to better inform a wider public of the early and
ongoing ground realities of Russia’s war on Ukraine.
In the foreword to his book Invasion of Ukraine: A Chronicle of Russian
Aggression (published in Russian, but we are all still waiting for it to come
out in English) Dmitry acknowledged Voices of Ukraine and a handful of English
and Japanese volunteer translators with “Thank you friends, and a deep bow.
Thanks to your assistance, the world has learned the truth about events in
Ukraine.” He told us that interest in our English language translations of his
military summaries came from various politicians and experts who visited from
the US and the UK, that Canada’s interest fell off a bit after the first year,
and the next most interested were the Germans, French and Italians. When he
later became a National Deputy he never ceased his daily work with IR and at one
point wrote us: “By the way, recently on the ‘parliamentary’ frontline, in my
many meetings with various experts and officials from Western countries, many of
them continuously monitor the summaries of the IR group in English, so that they
are aware of the developments in Ukraine through your translations – once again
thank you very much!”
Dmitry, we all owe you a deep debt of gratitude for your unflagging
professionalism and dedication. We salute and pay tribute to you, thank you for
your vision and service, for your friendship, your lion’s heart, your deep
commitment, and for all you were and stood for. Voices of Ukraine were your
diehard fans and worked hard to accurately research, translate and edit IR’s
military summaries out of the greatest respect for IR’s efforts and sacrifices
and for your own precise journalistic writing skills, straight up decency and
professional expertise. Dmitry wrote us so generously at one point in 2014: “We
admire you, too! You are…such patriots. It’s just beyond words. If many
Ukrainians had at least 10% of your energy and patriotism, Ukraine would have
been a superpower long ago)))).” And if 10% of Dmitry could only be spread to
every Ukrainian citizen…
More recently, after not hearing from us in a while, he wrote: “I’m happy you
don’t forget about us! It’s also nice to know that our information is in demand
in the West. It is thus not for nothing that we work.” It has been so definitely
not for nothing, Dmitry!
It is our great privilege to have crossed paths and travelled a small leg of
your journey with you and to have known you. You were the best of us, a humble
giant, and our hero, and you will always remain simply unforgettable. You leave
behind a very big hole and an ache. We know IR members are already stepping up
to continue the important, detailed work you started. The ache you leave behind
will be irreplaceable. Вічна пам’ять.
Memory Eternal. Heroes never die.
“I really hope that someday,
we can all meet together.
That would be wonderful!
Thank you!
Sincerely,
Tymchuk”

STATEMENT BY THE “INFORMATION RESISTANCE” GROUP ON THE DEATH OF DMITRY TYMCHUK
Posted on June 21, 2019 by chervonaruta
Information Resistance group
06.20.2019 (June 20, 2019)
Translated and edited by Voices of Ukraine
Dmitry Tymchuk was the Head of the Center for Military and Political Research,
Coordinator of the Information Resistance (IR) group, and a Member of Parliament
(People’s Front).
STATEMENT BY THE INFORMATION RESISTANCE GROUP
Yury Karin, IR Media Manager:
Dmytro Tymchuk, one of the coordinators and co-founders of the Information
Resistance group, Member of Parliament of Ukraine, lieutenant colonel (reserve)
and military journalist, tragically died on June 19th.
The Information Resistance group and the team of the Center of
Military-Political Studies offer their deepest condolences to the family and
loved ones of our friend and colleague.
Dmytro was always a true professional. He will forever live in our memories as a
man of firm patriotic beliefs and unshakeable moral principles, which he never
compromised. It was thanks to Dmytro’s human and professional qualities which
made it possible to gather a team of like-minded people who have been defending
Ukraine on the information front since the very start of Russian aggression, to
this day. His personal and professional journey was full of significant
achievements to the benefit of his homeland. We will remember him as an honest
and honorable man, and a true Officer.
We have suffered an irreparable loss, but we have no intention of stopping our
work for the benefit of Ukraine.
Dmytro was always brimming with new ideas and creative plans. We will continue
the work that was the central purpose of his life.
The Information Resistance group will continue defending the national interests
of Ukraine with all our strength. We will realize all of the ideas that our
fallen colleague had been involved in.
The Information Resistance group is truly grateful to everyone who expressed
their support and condolences to us, and to Dmytro’s family, friends and loved
ones in this difficult time.
Speaking to Ukrainian and foreign media, as well as everyone who was moved by
this tragedy, we request that you refrain from spreading speculations about the
reasons and circumstances of Dmytro’s death. We believe it necessary to wait for
the outcome of the official investigation. Please treat this request with
understanding and respect.

EVGENY PANOV’S MOTHER TALKS ABOUT HER SON’S HEALTH PROBLEMS AFTER VISITING HIM
IN RUSSIAN PRISON

Vera Kotelyanets, who often comes to Crimea from Enerhodar, Zaporozhia oblast,
tosupport her son at court hearings, managed to see him on July 10, 2018, on the
eve of the announcement of his verdict.
According to her, Evgeny has serious problems with his teeth and gums as a
result of the electric shock torture applied to him after his arrest.
“He never complains of anything, he endures, even when it hurts. He begins to
speak when there is no strength left to endure. This visit he said that there
are problems with his gums. His teeth, black after the electric current, ache
and break off. There are no doctors, and no one gives him medicine. And if one
starts to make strong demands, they will be put in “isolation.” But many
complain about their teeth, and sometimes, when a certain number of patients are
recruited, a dentist is brought from the city who simply pulls out the sick
teeth,” the woman told the Crimean Human Rights Group.
Vera Kotelyanets also reported that it is difficult to transfer medicines to the
SIZO [pre-trial detention center]. “We must first find a pharmacy which issues
certificates for drugs, for which one needs to wait from three days to a week.
The list of painkillers is limited, strong drugs cannot be transferred,” Vera
says. “The last time, Zhenya [Evgeny] was given activated charcoal because water
was not brought in time, and they had to drink dirty tap water for a few days.
His joints are also very painful. But basically he does not complain, he worries
more about how we live, and where we get money for trips and transfers.”
Meetings of prisoners with relatives in the Simferopol jail occur through a
cloudy double glass with iron fittings between the windows, communication is
provided by old telephone tubes through which it is hard to hear.
“When I come to see him, there is always a guard beside us and nothing
nonessential can be said. They have even adapted themselves to making
conditional signs to convey something that cannot be spoken out loud,” Vera
explains.
“This time I was given 2 hours for a visit, the longest visit of all of them;
the permission for a visit with an open date came to my postal address, I
gathered myself together in one day,” recalls Panov’s mother.
Vera Kotelyanets also informed the CHRG that the court sessions were usually
closed, but on July 13 she was admitted to the courtroom for the announcement of
the verdict, and together with the Crimean activists she was able to express her
support to her son.
“On July 13, the TV “Russia” channel was allowed first into the courtroom, then
we went in – myself and 7 other local activists. We were told where we should
go, but we spoiled the whole picture. Entering the hall, we began to greet
Zhenya, shouting “Glory to the patriots!,” “Zhenya, we love you!” I screamed:
“Evgeny, we’ll get you out of here!” We were seated in the middle, and half the
room, to create a crowd, was filled with people that were obviously gathered
from within the courthouse. I brought Zhenya an embroidery, and he was wearing
it. He was keeping well, he was very pleased that we came. At the exit, we also
shouted Ukrainian slogans and words of support in Ukrainian. But back at home, I
have not found anything about this anywhere on Russian channels. Only on
“Anna-News” news came out about the announcement of the verdict on “the leader
of the Crimean saboteurs Colonel Panov.”
“I am very grateful to the local residents, especially the Crimean Tatars, who
support Zhenya and me,” Vera said.
On 13 July 2018, the “Supreme Court” of Crimea sentenced Ukrainian citizen
Evgeny Panov, accused by Russian special services of preparing a sabotage on the
peninsula [Crimea], to 8 years in a strict-regime colony. The FSB accused Evgeny
Panov of “preparing sabotages in Crimea as part of a sabotage group.” In
addition, the Ukrainian was also accused of “smuggling ammunition across the
customs border of the Customs Union” (Part 1, Article 30 and paragraph “a” Part
2, Article 281, Part 3, Article 30 and Part 3, Article 226.1, part 3 of Article
222 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).
In the case of Evgeny Panov, torture, psychological pressure, falsification of
evidence, obstruction of the work of lawyers, violation of the right to a fair
trial, were recorded. According to human rights activists, Evgeny Panov, along
with other citizens of Ukraine who have been accused in cases of [so-called]
“saboteurs,” are victims of politically motivated criminal prosecution.
Ukrainian human rights activists have issued an open appeal to the governments
of the European Union, Switzerland, Norway, Montenegro, Iceland, Albania,
Liechtenstein, the United States, Canada, Australia and Japan, which called for
the use of all possible political and diplomatic mechanisms for the release of
Evgeny Panov, as well as to introduce personal sanctions against those involved
in the prosecution of a political prisoner and to strengthen sectoral sanctions
against Russia for gross systematic violation of human rights and war crimes in
occupied Crimea.
