@EugeneMcParland@mastodon.ie117 of 175 political prisoners held in russian jails are Crimean Tatar representatives
According to the director of the #Crimean #Tatar Resource Center Eskender Bariyev, 117 of the 175 political prisoners in russian jails are Crimean Tatar.
66 of the 101 detentions that were reported in the first half of 2023 involved indigenous individuals, Bariyev said.
“This is the invaders’s ‘democracy’,” he added.

You forgot to clarify that we are talking about the Crimean peninsula.
A small detail turns the truth into a lie.
@Paul100 @EugeneMcParland
How does this make it a lie?
A lie would be claiming that all political prisoners are Tatar. Or that none of them are. Your concept of lie is strange.
If you want to argue that the headline is misleading, fine. But that’s not your statement.

I won't repeat myself. You understand me, I know.
@Paul100 @EugeneMcParland
No, I think you need to clarify yourself.

If you say that one hundred thieves were caught in the EU, but you are talking about 100 thieves caught in Poland, then you are lying.
A thousand thieves were caught in the EU.
They are quoting a Crimean Tatar rep, but if that did not clue you in, then perhaps Google translate the original instead of calling a poor translation a lie:

You didn't hear me. There are not 175 political prisoners in Russia. There are many more.
If you write 175, you are not telling the truth.
Not everything that is written in Ukrainian is true.
Think with your head.
Are there 175 in Crimea?
I am using my head, why aren’t you using yours? Again, it is not a lie, the story is simply unclear unless you actually pay attention to the context, which you clearly have not done and continue to argue against because….? You don’t want to admit you are wrong?
To be more clear: at no point while reading either the short version or the longer original story did I ever think they were referring to the whole of the russian federation. It was clear to me
from context that only Crimea was being discussed.
You seem to have an agenda coloring your comprehension.
