The so-called Zaliznodorizhnyi District Court of the occupied Simferopol continues to consider the lawsuit of the defendant in the so-called Vedzhiie Kashka case Kyazim Amietov about inhumane and degrading conditions of detention in the pre-trial detention center. The so-called court ordered the Simferopol pre-trial detention center to provide documents on the so-called case. This was reported by the Crimean Solidarity public association.

“The lawsuit in this category of cases provides that the victim claims a violation, and the state body must demonstrate evidence that there were no violations. Otherwise, the court will consider that they happened”,- explained the lawyer Rustem Kiamilev.

We remind that on November 23, 2017, Russian security forces detained a group of activists of the Crimean Tatar national movement – Bekir Dehermendzhi, Asan Chapukh, Ruslan Trubach, Kyazim Amietov and Vedzhiie Kashka. The latter became ill, an ambulance was called for her. On the way to the hospital, 82-year-old Vedzhiie Kashka died, while the other detainees were taken into custody and accused of allegedly extorting money from a Turkish citizen. During their detention, the individuals involved in the so-called Vedzhiie Kashka case were repeatedly violated the right to a fair trial and the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health.

In October 2018, a so-called court in Crimea sent a defendant in the so-called case Asan Chapukh under house arrest.

On January 24, 2019, the so-called Kyiv District Court of Simferopol changed the measure of restraint for the defendants in the so-called Vedzhiie Kashka case Bekir Dehermendzhi, Kyazim Amietov and Ruslan Trubach to house arrest.

On April 17, the so-called Kyiv District Court of Simferopol passed a verdict on the defendants in the so-called Vedzhiie Kashka case. Bekir Dehermendzhi, Kyazim Amietov and Ruslan Trubach were sentenced to three years of probation with a probationary period of three years, Asan Chapukh was sentenced to three and a half years probation, also with a probationary period of three years.
