The occupation authorities in Crimea plan to create a recreation area on the territory of the ancient Muslim Cemetery Sauskan in Bakhchisarai.
This was announced by the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights Lyudmila Denisova, reports LB.ua.
"Back in February, construction equipment drove into the territory of the ancient Sauskan cemetery, which is also called Khan's. Crimean Tatars continue to fight for their values and write letters to the occupation authorities demanding to stop construction, but all in vain. Citizens of Ukraine demand to urgently stop earthworks, create a park and use the cemetery as an entertainment zone, which contradicts the religion and traditions of the Crimean Tatars," Denisova said.
