Out of over 150 victims of politically motivated persecution in the temporarily occupied Crimea, at least 38 have critical illnesses or disabilities.

That's according to the human rights organization CrimeaSOS, Ukrinform reports.

As noted, inhuman conditions in places of detention cause aggravation of chronic diseases among victims of politically motivated persecution in Crimea.

"According to available information, at least 38 victims of politically motivated persecution in Crimea have critical health problems. Of these, 30 are people aged 50 and older and pensioners," the statement said.
