Abstract

Considering modern weaponization of media and extensive experience of Russia in employing the propaganda machine, further attacks and trespasses against the freedom of expression and freedom of religion in order to suppress dissent in the occupied territory are to be expected. In accordance with the reports of international organizations and non-governmental organizations, the current situation in Crimea after the occupation with regard to human rights protections is concerning. This article will put together the reported events in Crimea and the city of Sevastopol concerning the freedom of expression and freedom of religion in order to demonstrate the gravity of the situation and responsibility of the occupying power.
