Tamara Shakryl (Russian: Тамара Шакрыл; 1925 or 1926 – 12 November 2004) was a linguist, academic and human rights activist from Abkhazia.
Shakryl was a senior associate at the Institute for the Study of the Humanities at the Abkhazian Academy of Sciences. She was a strong supporter of Abkhaz independence, and had been sharply critical of major powers and international organizations for demanding that Abkhazia remain a province of Georgia.
in January 1991, Skakryl became a founding member of the Democratic Party of Abkhazia, Abkhazia's first, but short-lived, post-Soviet political party.[1]
