Crimean Tatar activist and political prisoner Aziz Akhtemov, sentenced to 13 years in prison, was transferred from the SIZO-1 of the Krasnoyarsk Territory to a penal colony (IC-10) in the Altai Territory, Rubtsovsk, on November 6, 2024. This was reported by an activist Elmaz Akimova on Facebook.
Aziz is currently in quarantine, which will last for two weeks. He informed his family about this through the Zonatelecom service.
Prior to that, after a long stage transfer from Crimea, Akhtemov served his sentence in the prison in Yeniseisk, Krasnoyarsk Region, and was later transferred to SIZO-1 in Krasnoyarsk, and then to SIZO-1 in Novosibirsk and Barnaul in Altai Krai.
As Aziz told his family, the Penitentiary Colony-10 in Rubtsovsk is the final destination of his stage.
As a reminder, on September 6, 2021, a Russian “court” in the occupied Crimea arrested the First Deputy Chairman of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people Nariman Dzhelialov, as well as brothers Aziz and Asan Akhtemov.
On September 21, 2022, the Supreme “court” of Crimea announced a sentence to Aziz Akhtemov – 13 years in a strict regime colony with a fine of 500 thousand rubles and one year of restriction of liberty.
