Since the beginning of the Russian occupation of Crimea,

00:00:04.042,00:00:08.125
Russian authorities have sought to impose Russian law on Crimeans.

00:00:08.125,00:00:12.667
Among these is Russia’s overly broad extremism law.
[TEXT: Extremism Law]

00:00:12.667,00:00:17.458
Under its extremism law, Russia has sought to declare
religious groups “extremist”

00:00:17.458,00:00:21.542
and has harassed and discriminated against their members.

00:00:21.542,00:00:26.083
Russian authorities have tried to apply this law to oppress Crimean
Tatars,

00:00:26.083,00:00:29.125
[TEXT: Crimean Tatars]
an indigenous Muslim ethnic population,

00:00:29.125,00:00:32.875
most of whom openly oppose the Russian occupation of Crimea.

00:00:32.875,00:00:37.417
Under the extremism law, Crimean Tatar demonstrations have
been banned,

00:00:37.417,00:00:42.417
and their homes, mosques, businesses and schools have been

00:00:42.417,00:00:46.792
aggressively searched and often damaged in the process.

00:00:46.792,00:00:50.667
Crimean Tatars are not the only targets of this broad extremism law.

00:00:50.667,00:00:55.292
Catholic and Ukrainian Orthodox faithful also face harassment

00:00:55.292,00:00:58.333
and the confiscation of property.

00:00:58.333,00:01:01.708
The costs of Russia’s actions in Ukraine are real.

00:01:01.708,00:01:03.417
Stand United.
