As the Crimean Tatar Resource Center has learned, Ruslan Nagaev, a Crimean Tatar activist and political prisoner, has been in a hospital in Arkhangelsk, Russia, for a week now.
According to our source, the man was hospitalized in an institution that is not specialized for his condition, but doctors cannot provide definitive data on the need for surgery. It has not yet been determined whether the surgery will be performed.
Despite the absence of a defined medical plan, his family is allowed to send parcels with necessary items to Ruslan.
We would like to remind you that on June 10, 2019, the occupiers
detained Ruslan Nagaev in the falsified case of Alushta Hizb ut-Tahrir group. Ruslan was imprisoned under Part 2 of Article 205.5 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Participation in the activities of a terrorist organization”) and sentenced to 13 years in prison with a 1-year restriction of liberty.
