Crimean Tatar political prisoner Remzi Bekirov sent a letter congratulating Crimean Tatars in honour of Eid al-Adha.

This was reported by the wife of a political prisoner Tofik Abdulgaziev- Alie Abdulgazieva via Facebook.

“I congratulate you on the holiday of Eid al-Adha! May these festive days make you smile and believe in the future,” civic journalist Bekirov wrote in the letter.

In the letter, the political prisoner describes that the Eid al-Adha holiday symbolises sacrifice.

“InshaAllah those deeds, good deeds that you did in the way of Allah, sacrificing time, finances, labour, etc., will be worthily rewarded.” – writes Bekirov.

Recall, Remzi Bekirov was detained on 27 March 2019. Bekirov and Tofik Abdulgaziev are accused of participation in the activities of organization Hizb ut-Tahrir banned in Russia and occupied Crimea.

In May 2022, the Southern District Military Court in Rostov-on-Don sentenced Remzi Bekirov to 19 years in prison.
