This is Elena Tabakhova, from the Greek village of Urzhuf in the Donetsk region, who, according to complaints by her relatives and friends on social media, was arrested by the occupying authorities because she spoke publicly (on social media) against the Russian military invasion.

Young Greek teacher arrested in Russian-occupied areas of eastern Ukraine for “pro-Ukrainian stance” and was taken to prison.

This is Elena Tabakhova, from the Greek village of Urzouf of Donetsk region, who, according to complaints by her relatives and friends on social media, was arrested by the occupation authorities for speaking out publicly (on social media) against the Russian military invasion.

According to the reports, Elena Tabakhova was arrested by unknown persons and initially taken to the police station of Mangus (the Greek capital of the region), where the police are based. From there they took her to an unknown direction. “Before the occupation of Urzouf, Elena actively participated in the life of the local Greek community. She was loved by her fellow villagers, while at school the children loved her very much,” the president of the Federation of Greek Associations of Ukraine told APE-MPEAlexandra Prochenko.

“Elena was in love with our traditions and customs. The Greeks of Ukraine appeal to all human rights organizations, all women’s organizations and Greek society to share the matter and any new information on the fate of the young teacher, who left her child behind. The more organizations share this, the faster it will be possible to save a woman who has a two-year-old child waiting for her at home,” said Ms. Prochenko.

The distinguished writer of Ukraine, of Greek origin, Ivan Abramov, in a written message to APE-MPE, expressed his concern for the fate of the teacher. “I no longer know what a terrible threat a sensitive young woman, a teacher of the Greek language and the mother of a two-year-old daughter, could pose to the Russian invaders, who captured her and threw her into the dungeons of the prison, just because she remained loyal to the motherland of Ukraine. I hope that very soon, the twilight of the prison, the cold of the cell, the musty air of the dungeon will be replaced by the sunlight of freedom, but also the freedom of Urzuf, the smells of the steppe and the sea! Ivan Abramov.
