Head of the Crimean Tatar Parliament, Refat Chubarov, told a news conference on Friday the body would take a Russian ban on its activities to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). Russia's High Court on Thursday rejected Crimean Tatars' appeal against a legal ban on their parliament, also known as the Mejlis. Chubarov said Crimean Tatars faced jail if they took part in the body representing their own will and added if anyone joined the Mejlis' activities, he or she could receive a prison sentence of between two to six years.
