On Wednesday, March 25, the so-called Supreme Court of the occupied Crimea once again rejected the complaint of the mother of the so-called Krasnohvardiiske Hizb ut-Tahrir case defendant Arsen Abkhairov to grant a meeting with her son according to Article 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. It was reported by the Crimean solidarity public initiative.
It is noted that the meeting was held without Zelikha Abkhairova. At 8:40 she arrived at the courthouse, but the bailiff didn’t let her in, arguing that all applications are currently accepted through email or Russian mail. The bailiff escorted the woman out of the courthouse even after she showed him the summons for the hearing.
We remind that on February 14, 2019, Russian security forces conducted regular searches in the homes of Crimean Tatars in the village of Oktiabrske of Krasnohvardiiske district. Three men were detained and taken to the FSB. Criminal proceedings were instituted against them on suspicion of organizing and participating in the activities of the Hizb ut-Tahrir organization banned in the Russian Federation.
On February 15, the so-called Kyiv District Court of Simferopol arrested those detained after a search of the Crimean Tatars – Eskender Abdulhaniev, Rustem Emiruseinov and Arsen Abkhairov – on suspicion of participation in the Hizb ut-Tahrir organization banned in Russia.
