Електронна книга «The Free Voices of Crimea»

The Free Voices of Crimea profiles sixteen political prisoners — professional and citizen journalists fighting for human rights in Crimea, Ukraine’s territory occupied by Russia since 2014. Many of these people, sentenced to long prison terms on false charges, are Crimean Tatars, so the essays offer a wider historical context that explains why Crimea’s indigenous people have remained resilient against the Soviet, and now Russian, system. The book also includes letters, diary excerpts, and courtroom statements.«These are their voices: the stories of sixteen brave journalists who refused to be silent and lost their freedom. Their sacrifice will be fully justified only when their stories become known and their voices are heard», — Serhii Plokhy, author of The Russo-Ukrainian War: The Return of History«An essential book: a beam of light that cuts through Russian lies», — Luke Harding, author of Invasion: The Inside Story of Russia’s Bloody War and Ukraine's Fight for Survival«These are the words of resistance, and they stand as further proof that no matter how hard Russia tries to silence our people living under occupation, it will fail», — Tamila Tasheva, Permanent Representative of the President of Ukraine in the Autonomous Republic of CrimeaA joint initiative of PEN Ukraine, The Ukrainians Media, Human Rights Centre Zmina, and Vivat Publishing House, supported by the National Endowment for Democracy.
