"Another morning for the Crimean Tatars in Bakhchisaray began with searches. Armed operatives of Russian security forces broke into the houses of Seydamet Mustafaev and Riza Muzhdabaev," the report said.

The operatives did not provide any details regarding the raid while the perimeter was cordoned off by traffic police. Those who come to support their fellow people can be detained for not obeying the "legitimate" demand of the police officers, he wrote.

Later, Namatullaev said that the officers had applied force against the locals.
