text: In typical Amnesty International style, the report cited in this article begins, "Since the Russian occupation and annexation of Crimea in February-March 2014, the Russian and de facto local authorities, have demanded total submission to this brute fact." The language used is designed to provoke an emotional response in the reader. It falsely suggests that security forces in Crimea are going door-to-door and brutalizing the public. Yet despite that lurid lead-in, the report itself offers not a single example. The only genuinely concerning event involved the disappearance of Ervin Ibragimov, a Crimean Tatar, in May 2016 by parties unknown.
