president.gov.ua/en/news/31252.html «On March 3rd, when the occupation of Crimea just started, there was one man in the Crimean city of Simferopol who did the unthinkable. When millions felt paralyzed and stunned at what was unfolding before their eyes, Reshat Ametov, a 39-year-old father of three, decided not to be silent.This brave son of the Crimean Tatar people went on a one-man protest in front of the occupied City Hall. He did nothing more than hold a sheet of paper that said “NO to Occupation!” A group of unknown people arrested him and transported him away – in the plain sight of dozens of witnesses and in front of TV cameras. Two weeks later he was found tortured and executed – mafia-style. Just the thought of this man’s final tormented minutes sends chills down my spine. I ask myself – what made this hero do what he did? And I can find no other answer than – he did it for freedom; so that his children would not face slavery like that of a neo-Stalinist dictatorship», President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko said during his address to the Joint Session of the United States Congress.
