KIEV/SIMFEROPOL: Five years after Russia seized Crimea from Ukraine, prominent dissident Ilmi Umerov finds himself in Kiev, separated from his wife and family in Crimea whom he fears rejoining because of what he thinks is the threat of prosecution.
They have largely opposed Russian rule in Crimea and say Moscow's 2014 annexation of the peninsula was illegal, a view supported by the West."Frankly speaking, it is not my separation from the people that is hard, but my separation from Crimea. It took so many efforts to return to Crimea after the deportations in 1944," said Umerov, referring to the Crimean Tatars' return many years later.
Umerov was deputy head of the Crimean Tatars' semi-official Mejlis legislature before it was suspended by Moscow in 2017.
