Fauzia Bayramova<\/p><\/div>\n

An investigation has been launched against a prominent Tatar activist in the city of Chally, RFE\/RL’s Tatar-Bashkir Service reports.<\/p>\n

Fauzia Bayramova — the leader of the self-proclaimed Milli Mejilis, a pan-Tatar parliament — was brought to police on her arrival from Turkey on May 20.<\/p>\n

She told RFE\/RL that police asked her to sign a written pledge not to leave the city.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Russian federal officials accused Milli Mejilis activists of igniting interethnic hatred after they appealed for international recognition for an independent Tatarstan.<\/p>\n

Bayramova told RFE\/RL that “since Russia recognized Abkhazia and South Ossetia as independent states, Tatarstan has a legitimate right to follow the same path.”<\/p>\n

She attended a panel discussion in Ankara last week on the state of democracy in Tatarstan and Bashkortostan.<\/p>\n

Participants at the discussion harshly criticized Russian authorities for violating Tatars’ political and cultural rights.<\/p>\n

Bayramova says it is possible that new accusations will soon be filed against her. <\/span><\/p>\n
