Crimea court orders 3 Ukrainian sailors held for 2 months

A court in Russian-annexed Crimea on Tuesday orders three Ukrainian sailors to be held in custody for two months after a weekend confrontation at sea with Russian border guards.

“For now, the court has ordered three people held until January 25” on accusations of crossing into Russian territory illegally, Crimea’s rights ombudswoman Lyudmila Lubina tells AFP at the court.

Several others of the more than 20 Ukrainian sailors held by Russia were expected to appear before the court later Tuesday.
