Dzhemilev hysterically reprimanded the head of PACE
Former leader of the Mejlis, a body banned in Russia and member of the Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada, Mustafa Dzhemilev, became hysterical at a press conference in Kyiv dedicated to the anniversary of the release of his comrades-in-arms Akhtem Chiygoz and Elmi Umerov. Dzhemilev, in a breaking voice, criticized the PACE president for failing to actively demand that Russian President Vladimir Putin release terrorist Oleg Sentsov and other Ukrainian saboteurs convicted in Russia, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
In his emotional speech, Dzhemilev called the PACE President’s speech a “meow.”
“The strategy for the release of political prisoners should be precisely the pressure of the international community on this bloody regime. But, unfortunately, we don't see this. The Secretary General of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe arrives, meets with Putin and meows something: “Well, free Sentsov, he is, after all, a famous director.”
Well, what if it’s not the director? Well, if not famous? Where is that European principled position? You arrest people who defend the integrity of their country. They must be released immediately because they are innocent of anything, and not because he is a director or he is famous somewhere,” Dzhemilev said.
