In the draft resolution, after paragraph 5, insert the following paragraph:

"The Assembly strongly condemns the high number of arbitrary arrests and unfounded prosecutions and convictions of Crimean Tatars on false extremism-or terrorism-related charges for political reasons, including alleged affiliation with Muslim groups and opposition to the current regime in Crimea. It is deeply concerned by numerous cases of violations of Crimean Tatars' freedom of religion, including targeting specific religious groups allegedly involved with terrorism and extremism organizations with no connection to any offence against public order."
