On Wednesday, May 24, the Southern District Military Court in Rostov-on-Don announced the verdict for Ernest Seitosmanov, a defendant in the Hizb ut-Tahrir case.
The occupants sentensed:
Ernest Seitosmanov to 18 years in colony with the first four years in prison, as well as 1 year and 6 months of probation after release.
It should be noted that the accusations in this case are based on the testimony of hidden witnesses and the conclusion of so-called experts who actively cooperate with the Russian security forces. The case was considered in gross violation of international law.
The Crimean Tatar Resource Center strongly protests and states that this decision is illegal, politically motivated and criminal. Such a policy of the Russian Federation is a demonstration of the struggle against the political convictions of the citizens of the occupied Crimea.
The Crimean Tatar Resource Center demands that the sentence of the person involved in the case be annulled and that other political prisoners be released immediately.
