On 29 August, the Russian-controlled Supreme Court of Crimea upheld the verdict in the case of Appaz Kurtamet, a Crimean Tatar who was accused of donating to members of Ukrainian volunteer battalions. Source: the Crimean Process initiative Details: During its consideration of the appeal, the panel of judges of the Supreme Court of Crimea recognised one of the pieces of evidence taken into account when the case was heard in the court of first instance as inadmissible.

Russian authorities deported to Russia a wrongfully imprisoned Ukrainian rights defender and civic journalist, Iryna Danylovych, and are denying her access to medical treatment in custody.

Russian authorities should immediately and unconditionally free Danylovych, allow her to return to Ukraine, and provide her with timely and quality medical care as long as she remains in government custody.

The Russian authorities detained at least 13 Crimean Tatars under the building of the "Supreme Court of Crimea" in Russian-occupied Simferopol. They came to the hearing in regards to the appeal in the case of Nariman Dzhelyal and the Akhtemov brothers; among the detainees is journalist Lutfie Zudieva.
