On Wednesday, September 8, Russian security forces carried out investigative actions in the house of the detained Crimean Tatar Asan Akhtemov. It is not known how the Russian law enforcement agencies got into the territory of the house, since none of the family members were present. Crimean Tatar activist Lutfiie Zudiieva reported this via Facebook.
“None of the family members are there now, investigative actions are underway, but without the participation of the detainee’s relatives. After the search, his wife, Repika Akhtemova, temporarily does not live at this address. She does not know how the employees got into the household”,- the message said.
We remind that on September 3-4 in the occupied Crimea, in the houses of the Crimean Tatars Eldar Odamanov, Aziz Akhtemov, Shevket Useinov, Asan Akhtemov and Nariman Dzhelyal the searches were conducted. The security forces confiscated the equipment and took the men with them.
On September 4, Russian security officials in the occupied Crimea detained more than 40 people who wanted to know about the fate of five Crimean Tatars. They were fined 30,000 rubles.
Later it became known that Nariman Dzhelyal and cousins Aziz and Asan Akhtemov were suspected of complicity in the sabotage. The occupants claim that they are involved in the damage to the gas pipeline in the village of Perevalnoe, Simferopol district of Crimea.
Eldar Odamanov and Shevket Useinov were released after the search, but later they were detained again and an administrative protocol was drawn up. A Russian court in Crimea arrested Shevket Useinov and Eldar Odamanov for 14 and 15 days under Article 19.3 of the Administrative Code of Russia (disobedience to the police).
On September 6, the so-called Russian court in the occupied Crimea arrested the first deputy Chairman of Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people Nariman Dzhelyal, as well as the brothers Aziz and Asan Akhtemov for 2 months – until November 4, 2021.
