The Sochi Third Court of Appeal has postponed consideration of the appeal against the sentence of political prisoners Nariman Dzhelyal and the Akhtemov brothers. It is reported by the Crimean Solidarity.
The reason for the postponement was that the defendants were not acquainted with all the additions to the complaint from other participants in the process. The court postponed the start of the trial to July 27.
According to the wives of political prisoners, not everyone who came to appeal could get to the trial, because before the hearing the court building was cordoned off by police, and only ten listeners were allowed into the hall.
“The guys feel more or less normal. They were very glad to see us, the three of them had not seen each other for a long time”,- said Adile Akhtemova.
We remind you that Nariman Dzhelyalov was found guilty of committing a crime under paragraphs a, b of part 2 of Art. 281 (commission of sabotage by an organized group, resulting in significant property damage), part 4 of Art. 222.1 (illegal acquisition, storage and transportation of explosive devices committed by an organized group), part 3 of Art. 226.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (illegal transportation of an explosive device through the customs border of the Customs Union within the framework of the EurAsEC, committed by an organized group) and sentenced to 17 years in prison, a fine of 700 thousand rubles and restriction of freedom for 1.5 years.
We remind you that on September 3-4 in the occupied Crimea, the houses of the Crimean Tatars Eldar Odamanov, Aziz Akhtemov, Shevket Useinov, Asan Akhtemov and Nariman Dzhelyal were searched. The security forces confiscated the equipment and took the men with them. 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 Perevalne, Simferopol district of Crimea. 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.
