In the next four months, our Coalition will conduct an active information campaign on the situation with the respect for human rights in Crimea and on related problems.
For this, we created the "European Solidarity. Crimea". Coalition
We are suggesting to use all possible channels for informing a wide audience, including social networks.
With the support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Germany, we are planning a massive information campaign in social networks, as well as a number of information and presentation events for which special materials adapted for Europeans will be prepared.
We call on all those who are interested in the situation with human rights in Crimea to join the Coalition and actively exchange information, plan and conduct joint actions and events.
