The European Court of Human Rights decided not to expel the wife of the murdered Nabi Rakhimov, Sokhiba Burkhanova, to Uzbekistan, as she could be in danger there. This was reported by the Crimean Solidarity public association.
“The ECHR decided to leave Sokhiba in Russia in accordance with Rule 39 of the European Court's Rules of Procedure on Interim Measures. As Trenina (a lawyer) explained, this rule helps to ensure the safety of a person during the consideration of his case. The court previously established that in Uzbekistan a person can be tortured for involvement in the Islamic political party Hizb-ut Tahrir, banned in the country. And since the ECHR already has a decision on the case of Sokhiba's late husband, there are fears that her rights at home may be violated”,- the statement says.
The woman will remain in Russia until the decision on her complaint to the ECHR.
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, Sokhiba 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
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.
