December 16, 2021

In the occupied Crimea, a criminal case was opened against Nabi Rakhimov, who was murdered by Russian security forces on May 11, 2021 during a search. He is accused of violating Article 317 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (Use of violence against a government official). This was reported by the Crimean Solidarity public association.

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 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.
