                  OSCE Calls for Safety of Crimean Journalists

   by VOA News

   The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe has called on
   authorities in Crimea to protect the rights of ethnicTatar journalists
   there.

   The OSCE Friday expressed particular concern about the fate of Avdet,
   the weekly newspaper of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People,
   following what it called a week of "intimidation."

   The organization said Avdet's offices in Simferopol were searched and
   that authorities forced all tenants, including the newspaper's staff,
   to leave the premises.

   Crimea was annexed by Russia from Ukraine earlier this year following a
   referendum the West said was rigged.
