Member of Ukraine's Parliament and former leader of the Mejlis (Parliament) of the Crimean Tatar People Mustafa Jemilev (Cemilev) has lodged a lawsuit against Russia with the European Court of Human Rights, an announcement posted on the Ukrainian Cabinet's Web site on Tuesday reads.
Details will be announced at a joint briefing of Jemilev with Ukrainian Justice Minister Pavlo Petrenko and member of the Justice Ministry's Expert Council Arkadiy Buschenko on July 16.
Since April 2014, Jemilev has been barred from entering the territory of Crimea.
Jemilev's Russian defense lawyer Mark Feigin announced recently that his client hadn't been issued a notice prohibiting the entry.
Feigin said he hoped that the case would get to the European Court of Human Rights.
