The wife of Nabi Rakhimov, who was killed by the Russian security forces on May 11 during a search, was taken with her son to the Main Investigation Department for the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol for interrogation. This was reported by the Crimean Solidarity public association.

The lawyer Siiar Panych said that Burkhanova is currently being held as a witness, but the FSB did not immediately tell her about the fact of the murder of her husband during the so-called operational-combat action.

“I arrived at about 18:00 (May 11), no investigative actions were taken with her at that time. I had a confidential conversation with her. At that time, no pressure was exerted on her. Her 15-year-old son was also in the Investigative Committee building”,- said Panych.

We remind that on May 11, in the occupied Crimea, in the village of Zavitne, Russian security forces came to the house of Nabi Rakhimov. His wife and two children were in the house. The woman, Sakhiba Burkhanova, was taken to the migration department of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Sovietsky district. A protocol was drawn up against the woman for violating the regime of residence in the Russian Federation.

Later, the Russian security forces decided to conduct a search in Simferopol, in the Dubky microdistrict, where Nabi Rakhimov was supposedly located. During this search, the man was shot dead.

In addition, the occupants detained Seidamet Hafarov, the owner of the house where Rakhimov lived. The man was brought to his place of residence in the Ak-Mechet microdistrict, and a search was carried out there. He was also taken to the Investigative Committee of Russia for interrogation.
