The defendants in the so-called Hizb ut-Tahrir case Ruslan Nagaev, Eldar Kantimirov and Lenur Khalilov were transferred from the pre-trial detention center # 1 to the pre-trial detention center # 5 in the Russian Rostov-on-Don, which is why all the so-called court sessions were postponed for a week. This was reported by the Crimean Solidarity public association.
“Today the court session did not take place. As the presiding judge explained, an application was submitted to the pre-trial detention center. But at some point we learned that our clients were transferred to another pre-trial detention center. In this regard, the court did not have time to make a new application, so the trial was postponed to 9, 10 and 11 February”,- 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. Subsequently, all the defendants in the so-called case were repeatedly extended the terms of their arrest.
