Head of the Crimean Tatar Parliament, Refat Chubarov, told a news conference on Friday the body would take a Russian ban on its activities to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). Russia's High Court on Thursday rejected Crimean Tatars' appeal against a legal ban on their parliament, also known as the Mejlis.
