Kyiv, February 23 (PolitNavigator, Maxim Karpenko) – As a result of the investigation of the “case of February 26,” when two people died during clashes near the building of the Supreme Council a year ago, 150 representatives of the Crimean Tatar Majlis may be imprisoned.
The head of the Mejlis, Refat Chubarov, stated this at a press conference in Kyiv.

He complained that pro-Russian activists are not summoned for questioning, and only Crimean Tatars receive subpoenas.
"Under the Russian Criminal Code, Akhtem Chiygoz ( the deputy head of the Mejlis, arrested in Crimea – author's note ) faces up to 10 years in prison. They interviewed 150 people, and any of them could be charged in this case. Needless to say, they didn't interview Sergei Aksyonov, who was one of the organizers of those events with me, nor did they interview any other participants with a pro-Russian orientation," Chubarov complains.
