In the temporarily occupied Crimea, the Russian Federal Security Service has detained a resident who is "accused" of allegedly participating in an "illegal armed force" — the Crimean Tatar volunteer battalion named after Noman Çelebicihan — the Russian propaganda media RIA Novosti.
Russia has recognised this battalion as a "terrorist organisation".
The Russians claim that in 2016 the Crimean voluntarily joined the battalion and was allegedly an active member.
The man faces illegal imprisonment for 15 years.
