The family of the Crimean Tatar human rights defender Emir-Usein Kuku is facing threats and harassment as a way to intimidate him. After his arrest, his son has been threatened by a man who said he worked for the Russian security service. The de facto authorities in Crimea have accused Emir-Usein Kuku of failing to protect his son and initiated an inquiry that could lead to him losing custody of him.

Emir-Usein Kuku is a human rights defender and prominent member of the local Crimean Tatar community in the Yalta region, southern Crimea. After the Russian occupation of Crimea in 2014, he joined the Crimean Human Rights Contact Group. He exposed members of the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) repeatedly attempting to recruit him as their secret informant. After he refused, the FSB raided his home on two occasions. In February 2016 he was arrested under an unfounded accusation of being a member of Hizb ut-Tahrir, an Islamist movement that is banned as “extremist” in Russia, but is not illegal in Ukraine. Kuku denies any involvement with this movement. He is currently being held in pre-trial detention.

An FSB officer visited Emir-Usein Kuku in detention shortly after he was arrested and attempted to recruit him again. After he refused, his family has been subjected to further harassment. On 2 March, and on at least one other occasion, a man approached Emir-Usein’s nine year-old son, Bekir Kuku, at his school when no adults were present. . The man told Bekir Kuku that he worked for the FSB and that his father would “rot in prison” for being uncooperative. On 3 March, Meriem Kuku, Bekir Kuku’s mother, complained about the incident to the local police. Her complaint was registered but she has never heard back about any progress in the investigation.

Instead, on 26 September, the local police inspector for juvenile cases informed Meriem Kuku that an inquiry had been initiated by the Investigative Committee (responsible for investigating serious crimes) about Emir-Usein Kuku for failing to protect his son from strangers. Meriem Kuku fears this may lead to legal action against the family and worries the de facto authorities may seek official custody of her son. Her fear grew even further when the police inspector for juvenile cases repeatedly attempted to question Bekir Kuku at school without adult supervision.

Please write immediately in Ukrainian, Russian or your own language to the de facto authorities in Crimea:

Urging them to carry out a prompt, impartial and effective investigation into the threats and harassment against Bekir Kuku and his family;

Ensuring that the local police service is not misused to target Emir-Usein Kuku and demanding that harassment of the Kuku family by members of the de facto authorities, including the FSB, police and the Investigative Committee immediately stops;

Calling for the criminal prosecution of Emir-Usein Kuku under unfounded charges to end, and for him to be immediately and unconditionally released.

In early 2015, Reddit published a transparency report that containedheading for National Security Requests, noting, “As of January 29, 2015, reddit has never received a National Security Letter, an order under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or any other classified request for user information.”

Five hours ago, Reddit published its 2015 edition, which contains no mention of classified requests for user information.

“Warrant canaries” are a response to the practice by governments of serving warrants on service providers that include gag orders forbidding the service from disclosing the warrant’s existence. By publishing regular transparency reports listing the number of secret warrants received to date as “0,” then omitting the section dealing with those warrants once the first warrant has been served, companies can create a kind of dead man’s switch – done right, it might even stop governments from even trying to serve a warrant (except in Australia, where warrant canaries are illegal).

Denver’s new building codes include a change aimed at making it easier — and cheaper — for more residents of the fast-growing city to charge electric vehicles at home.

Although opposed by homebuilders, the electric vehicle readiness requirement says new single-family homes and duplexes built in the city will need to have the right electrical wiring to support electric vehicle plugs in their garages. At the least, the new homes must have conduits leading to the electrical panel.

The Chinese government has banned all depictions of gay people on television, as part of a cultural crackdown on “vulgar, immoral and unhealthy content”.

Chinese censors have released new regulations for content that “exaggerates the dark side of society” and now deem homosexuality, extramarital affairs, one night stands and underage relationships as illegal on screen.

Last week the Chinese government pulled a popular drama, Addicted, from being streamed on Chinese websites as it follows two men in gay relationships, causing uproar among the show’s millions of viewers.

The government said the show contravened the new guidelines, which state that “No television drama shall show abnormal sexual relationships and behaviours, such as incest, same-sex relationships, sexual perversion, sexual assault, sexual abuse, sexual violence, and so on.”
