Russia puts Crimean Tatar mother of five on trial for 'seizing power'
Original: Russia’s ‘trial’ begins of Crimean Tatar mother of five and three young women for ‘trying to violently seize power’
A trial has begun in Russian-occupied Crimea of a Crimean Tatar mother of five and three young women accused of trying to violently seize power.

Critics say the case targets women and mothers, underscoring the breadth of the crackdown.
