The defendant in the so-called Hizb ut-Tahrir case, Eskender Suleymanov, has a worsening state of health: he has stomach problems. But no one in the pre-trial detention center provides medical assistance to a political prisoner. This was reported by the Crimean Solidarity public association.
It is noted that the political prisoner is worried about stomach problems, but he has not been able to receive medical assistance in the pre-trial detention center for a month.
“For some reason, his appeals are ignored. Either he asks orally, then in writing. In addition, he needs a dentist, since his dentures are completely destroyed, but there is no reaction to this either”,- the message said.
We remind that on June 10, Russian security forces conducted mass searches in the dwellings of Crimean Tatars in Alushta, Bilohirsk and Simferopol. As a result, 8 people were detained on suspicion of their involvement in the Hizb ut-Tahrir organization banned in the Russian Federation. On June 10 and 11, the so-called Kyiv District Court of Simferopol chose a preventive measure in the form of detention until August 5 for the Crimean Tatars detained after searches – Riza Omerov, Enver Omerov, Ayder Dzhepparov, Eskender Suleymanov, Ruslan Nagaev, Eldar Kantimirov, Ruslan Mensutov and Lenur Khalilov. On October 31, the so-called Kyiv District Court of Simferopol once again extended their arrest until February 5, 2020.
The Crimean Tatar Resource Center calls on the international community, international human rights organizations to increase pressure on the Russian Federation and the occupation authorities of Crimea in order to stop political persecution and cancel the previously issued court decisions.
