Ethnic raids in the CrimeaThe occupation ‘authorities’ in the Crimea have now resorted to armed raids of markets and cafes in Simferopol with people obviously targeted because of ‘non-Slavonic appearance’. An indicator that the measures are aimed at intimidation is seen in the fact that the raids are not being carried out by migration service officials but by men from the department for countering ‘extremism’ Raids were carried out at the central Simferopol market on Friday, Nov 21, with around 100 people detained. This followed another such raid on the Tavria market in Simferopol on Nov 15. On that occasion police without any explanation stopped over 60 people, and took fingerprints and DNA samples from them. According to the Crimean Human Rights Field Mission men in camouflage gear stopped over 100 people during the Friday siege. According to witnesses at least two of the people detained were beaten up. The raid took place in three phases: at 9.00, then around 10.00 and the third from 12 to 1 in the afternoon. The detentions were carried out by people in civilian clothes accompanied by armed men in masks and khaki clothing without insignia. The men in plain clothes said that they were from the Russian Interior Ministry’s Department for Countering Extremism. They did not offer a reason for their behaviour but were polite in ‘asking’ people to get into their bus. When asked, they claimed that there was information about a bomb having been planted in the prosecutor’s offices and that they were detaining all those arousing suspicion until their identity was established. Most of those detained were people visiting the market, though some were also vendors. Of at least 100 people, only around 15 were ‘of Slavonic appearance’. According to witnesses, the politeness stopped outside the bus, and two of those detained who had asked to go out to the toilet were handcuffed and beaten. They were all taken to the ‘centre for countering extremism’ where they were photographed and their fingerprints and saliva samples for DNA were taken. Those who had passports with them were released after a couple of hours, others had to wait for relatives or friends to bring their passports. Many of those detained were asked to sign documents saying that they had no complaints against the police. This is a standard document normally extracted while a person is still effectively under the control of police officers and therefore totally meaningless. Emil Kurtbedinov told Radio Svoboda’s Crimean service that he was not being allowed in to see his clients, and he was adamant that there had been no grounds for any of the detentions which were based solely on whether they looked Slavonic or not. He points out that photographing people, and taking fingerprints and DNA for no reason falls under the Russian criminal code, constituting as it does exceeding official powers. According to the reports regarding Nov 15, all 60 or so people detained were clearly targeted because of their non-Slavonic appearance. Some have apparently been charged with infringements of the rules for “stay in the Russian Federation”. Judging by the account from one of the people detained on Nov 15, a Syrian who has clearly long lived in the Crimea, he and his family were fully in support of the pseudo ‘referendum’ effectively on Russia’s annexation of the Crimea. He says that he “didn’t expect such an attitude to him, that it was a shock”. Such an attitude was fully expected by the Crimea’s indigenous people, the Crimean Tatars, and it was one of the reasons why they were so against annexation. It is significant that there have also been mass ‘checks’, otherwise known as raids, of cafés in Simferopol with the officers targeting both Turkish and Crimean Tatar cafés. The officers were yet again from the so-called Department for Counting Extremism, though the assumption is that they were looking for illegal immigrants among visitors to the cafés. Whatever the pretext, the behaviour is a gross infringement of people’s rights. The involvement of officials supposedly concerned with countering ‘extremism’ is particularly ominous given the major offensive over recent months against Crimean Tatars. A long list of gravely repressive measures have been accompanied by spurious references to Russia’s law against extremism. Halya Coynash http://khpg.org/index.php?id=1416613848

ruSSia Delivers a New Shock to Crimean Business: Forced NationalizationBusiness in Crimea has taken a beating since the peninsula’s annexation by Russia. Crimea’s tourism industry collapsed, and companies were cut off from vital suppliers and customers in Ukraine. Now comes the latest blow: nationalization. From bakeries to shipyards, Crimea’s Kremlin-backed government is moving aggressively to take over businesses that it deems “inefficient,” strategically important, or friendly to the government in Kiev. Krymkhleb, the peninsula’s biggest bread and confectionery maker, was nationalized on Nov. 12 by government authorities who accused its owners of laundering money to finance military operations against pro-Russian rebels in eastern Ukraine. A company that supplies flour to Krymkhleb also was taken over. Also on Nov. 12, authorities seized a resort complex owned by the holding company of Serhiy Taruta, a Ukrainian oligarch who replaced the former pro-Russian governor of Ukraine’s Donetsk region for several months earlier this year. Crimean authorities said the resort was seized because its management had illegally blocked public access to nearby park lands. Another recent target was Zaliv, Crimea’s largest civilian shipbuilder. In late August, men describing themselves as Crimean “self-defense” forces stormed the company’s headquarters in the port of Kerch and demanded that management hand over control to a Moscow-based company. “Currently, representatives of the legitimate government of [Zaliv] are not allowed to perform their functions,” the company said in a statement on its website, adding that its activities have been “completely blocked.” No official reason was given for the seizure, but Russian authorities have said they want to overhaul Crimea’s shipbuilding industry. “All enterprises on the peninsula that operate inefficiently, are on the verge of bankruptcy, or have been abandoned by their owners, will be nationalized.” Sergei Tsekov, a senator who represents Crimea in the Russian parliament in Moscow, told the Russian-language news service 15 Minutes on Nov. 13. Crimea also has threatened to seize companies that it claims are in debt to Russian banks. One such case involves Crimean solar-power generating stations developed and operated by Activ Solar, an Austrian company. Sergey Aksyonov, Crimea’s recently elected prime minister, contends that Activ Solar owes $300 million to Russian banks. The company disputes that, saying it has no loan exposure to Russian institutions. Russia moved swiftly after annexation to nationalize some Ukrainian state-owned enterprises, ranging from pipeline companies to health spas. It also took aim at oligarchs such as Igor Kolomoyskiy, vocally pro-Kiev governor of Ukraine’s Dniepropetrovsk region. Kolomoyskiy’s Privat Bank closed its Crimean branches after the annexation, leaving depositors to seek compensation from Moscow. Besides taking depositors’ money, Crimean prime minister Kolomoyskiy has financed military operations against separatists in eastern Ukraine, Aksyonov told Crimea’s parliament in September, ITAR-Tass reported. “It is our moral right and our moral duty to carry out this nationalization,” he said. Recent laws enacted by the parliament have expanded the government’s right to foreclose” on private property, and, according to one of the new laws, to seize assets considered to have “particular social, cultural, or historical value.” In some cases, Crimean authorities have said they were seizing businesses at the behest of employees who were being cheated or mistreated by management. “Employees established control of the enterprise on their own,” Aksyonov said after the takeover of Krymkhleb. “We just helped them a little.” Such measures are turning Crimea into a “neo-Bolshevik criminal dictatorship,” Russian opposition party Yabloko said in a statement this week on its website. “The action to legitimize robbery must be cancelled, stolen property returned to owners, losses reimburse http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2014-11-18/crimea-gets-renationalized

Russian occupation forces engage in ethnic cleansing of Simferopol marketThe latest outrage by the thug occupation forces installed by the Kremlin merely adds to the ever-growing list of human rights abuses against the non-Russian population there. Today at the “Locomotive” retail market in Simferopol (the capitol of Crimea) Russian law enforcement officers in balaclavas detained sellers of non-Slavic appearance reports DePo’s own correspondent from the scene. People in law enforcement uniforms wearing balaclavas as well as several people in plain clothes raided shops of the mall. They entered each shop and demanded ID documents from sellers with non-Slavic appearance. However, Crimeans simply are not used to carrying passports with them, so they were immediately detained by police until identification. One of the owners of a kiosk was indignant: “Why do you make a terrorist out of me? Why are you treating me this way?” News about the raid swept through the mall in an instant: “They ‘take’ not everyone. ‘Ours’ are not arrested.” The DePo reported earlier that Mustafa Dzhemilev, the national leader of Crimean Tatars, told European parliamentarians at a meeting of Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe that 18 Crimean Tatars disappeared with no trace during the Russian occupation of the Crimea. According to Dzhemilev, Crimean Tatars are under severe pressure from the occupation authorities of the Crimea, many Tatars have been arrested without any legal basis. http://www.ukrainebusiness.com.ua/news/14096.html

Russian satellites recorded the face of the pilot, who shot down the Malaysian BoeingРоссийский военный спутник зафиксировал лицо украинского летчика, сбившего малазийский Боинг. Напомним, что украинскими военными 17 июля был сбит самолет авиакомпании Malaysia Airlines, летевший из Амстердама в Куала-Лумпур. Теперь не остается ни малейших подозрений, что Боинг сбила украинская сторона. Несмотря на плохое качество снимка, на нем отчетливо видно довольное лицо карателя, показывающего в камеру спутника неприличный жест. По данным российских криминалистов, пассажирский лайнер сначала был обстрелян из пулемета с расстояния 50 километров, а затем по кабине пилотов была выпущена ракета «воздух-воздух». Первоначальная версия о том, что военный летчик просто хотел сбить фуражку с капитана лайнера и таким образом пошутить, не получила подтверждения. Очевидно, что украинский каратель намеренно хотел сбить самолет малазийских авиалиний, чтобы отомстить за импорт российской нефти, которую Малайзия на 60% закупает у России. В настоящее время в России по факту воздушного терроризма и геноцида русского языка возбуждено уголовное дело, в ходе которого спутниковая фотография украинского летчика будет отправлена в Интерпол. http://supermnenie.mirtesen.ru/blog/43582762818/Rossiyskiy-sputnik-zafiksiroval-litso-letchika,-sbivshego-malazi?utm_campaign=transit&utm_source=main&utm_medium=page_0&domain=mirtesen.ru&pad=1
