Russia's FSB Security Service has banned Ukrainian photographer Alina Smutko, who covered repressions against Crimean Tatars, from entering Russian-occupied Crimea for ten years.

Smutko wrote this on her Facebook page.

"Today I have expanded a list of people who 'endanger the national security of the Russian Federation.' The result: I have been banned from entering the territory of the Russian Federation and, in particular, Crimea until 2028," the photographer said.

Her colleague, Anton Naumlyuk, noted that Smutko covered, among other things, repressions against Crimean Tatars.
