On Monday, September 13, lawyer Aider Azamatov signed a defense agreement with Asan Akhtemov, who was arrested for 2 months. This was reported by lawyer Azamatov via his Facebook page.
“Today we managed to see Asan in the detention center of Simferopol, after two previous attempts to see him. I have already signed an agreement with him for his defense and received from him personally a statement of refusal from the previously appointed lawyer. He was interviewed, permission was received from him to receive information constituting a medical secret. He holds up, albeit difficult after the last events. Details will be shared later”,- the message said.
We remind you 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.
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 the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people Nariman Dzhelyalov, as well as the brothers Aziz and Asan Akhtemov for 2 months – until November 4, 2021.
