Hizb ut-Tahrir case defendants may contract coronavirus

The defendants in the so-called third Bakhchisaray Hizb ut-Tahrir case Seyran Khairetdynov and Alim Sufyanov are in the neuropsychiatric hospital # 1 in Simferopol, where a massive infection with coronavirus infection was discovered. This was reported by the Crimean Human Rights Group.

As noted, lawyer Lilia Hemedzhi tried to meet with both Crimeans, but only Khairetdynov was taken out to her, as Sufianov was lying with a fever in the quarantine ward.

We remind that on July 7, Russian security forces conducted mass searches in the dwellings of the Crimean Tatars in the Bakhchisaray, Krasnohvardiiske and Simferopol districts of the occupied Crimea. Seven people were detained. All were taken to the FSB headquarters in Simferopol. On July 7, the so-called Kyiv District Court of Simferopol sent Oleksandr Syzykov, a disabled individual of the first group, under house arrest. On July 8, the so-called Kyiv District Court of the occupied Crimea chose a measure of restraint for Ismet Ibrahimov, Zekirya Muratov, Vadym Bektemyrov, Emil Ziyadynov, Alim Sufyanov and Seyran Khayretdynov in the form of detention.
