Lawyer Edem Semedliaiev visited political prisoner Zekirya Muratov in the Rostov jail. The defender claims that the invaders are violating the presumption of innocence in relation to the person involved in the so-called Hizb ut-Tahrir case, since he is already being treated as a dangerous criminal, although his guilt has not been proven. This was reported by the Crimean Solidarity public association.
“From the first day of their arrest, they are treated as terrorists, today's meeting is no exception. He was immediately locked in a very narrow cage in the meeting room, one might say. The cage is because it is welded from fittings”,- the lawyer said.
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 Sufianov and Seyran Khairetdynov in the form of detention.
