Ukraine's envoy to UN dismisses Russian Supreme's court ruling to uphold ban of Mejlis as irrelevant
Ukraine's Permanent Representative to the UN Volodymyr Yelchenko has called the ruling of the Russian Supreme Court upholding a ban on the Crimean Tatar Mejlis in Russia as an extremist organization as "worthless."
"A worthless court, a worthless decision," Yelchenko wrote on his Twitter page on Thursday.
As reported, on Thursday, September 29, the Russian Supreme Court issued a final ruling upholding a ban on the Crimean Tatar Mejlis in Russia as an extremist organization. The court thus rejected an appeal from Mejlis representatives.
