"The #CrimeanTatars are the Turkic-speaking native people of #Crimea, absorbed by the #Mongol #GoldenHorde in the 13th century. They adopted #Islam and broke away as the powerful Crimean Khanate in the 15th century. After Russian annexation in 1783, the process of persecution and expulsion began under imperial rule, and it was continued under the #SovietUnion." #UkraineWar

April 17, 1938 is one of the tragic dates in the history of #CrimeanTatars. On this day dozens of representatives of crimean tatar intellectuals were shot in a crimean prison. Among them were historians, writers, linguists.

#Crimea

#CrimeanTatars are victims of numerous patterns of serious violations of #humanrights, persecution, discrimination, and stigmatisation by the Russian occupying authorities in #Ukraine ’s peninsula of #Crimea. Their struggle for human rights needs more attention and support.

Fresh lessons today about colonized peoples still seen through a colonizer lens:

#CrimeanTatars is a colonizer's name which misrepresents the Qirimli, as they call themselves.

US culture, including southern, is often portrayed to the world via white, not black perspective.
