The so-called Supreme Court of the occupied Crimea restricted the right to familiarize with the materials of the so-called case of the political prisoner, a defendant in the so-called Simferopol Hizb ut-Tahrir case Asan Yanikov. This was reported by the Crimean Solidarity public association.

“It was stated that in 47 days Yanikov read 31 volumes of the case – that is, one and a half volumes a day. However, the court considered it a delay in the process and confirmed the decision of the first instance, limiting the client's right to familiarize himself”,- the message said.
We remind that on March 27, 2019, Russian security forces in the occupied Crimea carried out mass searches in 26 Crimean Tatars' dwellings. Literature was seized from some activists, which, according to Crimean Solidarity, the security forces planted themselves. In addition to books and brochures, people were confiscated phones, tablets, laptops, passports. The servicemen behaved rudely. It is reported that they used physical force against detainees and entered the houses in shoes. Lawyers who arrived at the site of the searches were not allowed to contact the detainees. According to the results of the searches, 20 people were suspected of involvement in the Hizb ut-Tahrir organization, which is banned in the Russian Federation. On March 28, three more Crimean Tatar activists were detained, in whose dwellings searches were carried out in their absence. On March 27-28, the occupation court arrested all 23 detainees after searches. They chose a preventive measure in the form of detention. Subsequently, all the figurants involved in this so-called case were repeatedly extended the terms of their arrest.
