On Tuesday, February 6, the police officers came to the house of the father of the Crimean Tatar activist of “Crimean Solidarity”, Lutfie Zudieva, for a “preventive conversation”.This is reported by the website “Krym.Realii.”

The site reports that Remzi Zudiev (Lutfie's father ) did not let them into the premises. Police officers wondered about his participation in  the events dedicated to18th of  May  ( The Remembrance Day for  the victims of Deportation of the Crimean Tatar People – KR) and his visits of searches conducted by Russian security officials.

Remzi Zudiev refused to answer the policemen, citing the lack of a protocol and late time.

This incident was commented by Lutfie Zadieva.

"I do not exclude the option of surveillance. This is either direct pressure on my father, because he tries to be present at all searches, if something happens somewhere. Either a hint at my active work", – said the activist in the comment to Krym.Realii".

Reference: in April 2017, Remzi Zudiev was arrested for three days under Art. 20.2 of the Administrative Code of Russia ("participation in an unsanctioned rally").
