November 10, 2020

The defendant in the latest so-called Hizb ut-Tahrir case, a disabled person of the first group, Oleksandr Syzykov, who was detained as a result of mass searches on July 7, is ending his term in a psychiatric hospital. He is to be released on Friday, November 13th. This was reported by the Crimean Solidarity public association.

“He feels satisfactory, but he is very tired of the conditions in the hospital. Oleksandr says that it is very difficult for him to be there, because he does not see anything. There is no special care for him. I told him that a court hearing was held, where the appeal was considered. He was given a 30-day examination period. The deadline is due on Friday. This was confirmed to him by the doctor who conducts the in-patient examination”,- said lawyer Semedlyaev.

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 Khairetdynov in the form of detention.
