The head department of the Crimean Russian Investigative Committee hasn’t confirmed instances of kidnapping of Crimean Tatars and has decided not to initiate a criminal case.
On October 10th 2014 the chairman of the Sudak Municipal Mejlis of the Crimean Tatars sent a request to law-enforcement agencies regarding the kidnapping by unknown people of several Crimean Tatars near the road between Sudak and Grushchevka.
