April 29, 2020

On Tuesday, April 28, activist Tair Ibragimov, who was detained on July 11 near the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, received a warning from the so-called Russian authorities about the inadmissibility of unauthorized events such as rallies, marches, and gatherings. It is reported by the Crimean solidarity public assosiation.

“On April 28, at 15:00 two servicemen arrived at my house – one of them was Oleg Sherigov. They wanted to warn me, but when I started asking questions – on what basis did they want to warn me, he replied that “he is only executing order”. Then I did not agree with the written requirement, because I considered it a fiction in relation to me, I regard all this as pressure, in particular, on me and on my people, This is an unprecedented situation in Crimea”,- Ibrgimov commented.

We remind that on July 10, Crimean Tatar activists took part in a protest rally on Red Square in Moscow against the persecution of Crimean Tatars in the occupied Crimea. Participants unfurled posters with the words “Stop persecution on ethnic and religious grounds,” “The fight against terrorism in Crimea is a fight against dissent,” “Our children are not terrorists.” After the rally began, Russian police detained seven people. On July 11, near the building of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, where the appeal of the defendants of the so-called first Bakhchisaray Hizb ut-Tahrir case was examined, the Russian police detained 46 people who came to support their compatriots.
