The defendant in theso-called Simferopol Hizb ut-Tahrir case, Teymur Abdullaev, was again placed in the punishment cell. He will stay in a pre-trial detention center until July 20. The Crimean Tatar Resource Center was informed about this by his wife Alime.
“But now they laughed at us and in the evening on July 5 they released Teymur into the detachment in the colony without saying a word, and early in the morning of July 6 they expelled him again to the punishment cell and sentenced him to stay there until July 20. Thus, they justified their illegal actions when they sentenced him to the next punishment”,- explained the mother of political prisoner Dilyara via her Facebook page.
