RFE/RL's Tatar-Bashkir Service reports that a member of the Crimean Tatars' self-government body, the Mejlis, Abduraman Egiz, was attacked today in Simferopol.
Unidentified people in "Self-Defense" uniforms stopped his car and demanded his ID. When he refused to present his ID and asked to call the police, he was beaten up by several people. His car was searched.
When Egiz finally had a chance to show his ID and the people who stopped him realized he was a Mejlis member, they let him go.
A Mejlis spokesman said the case will be reported to the police and he expects more violence in coming days.
