Political prisoner Ruslan Nagaev was taken to the prison hospital at the prison No. 1 in Verkhneuralsk city of Chelyabinsk region. This was reported by Nagaev’s relatives to ‘Crimean solidarity’ public association.
According to the relatives, the Crimean Tatar has already been taken to the prison hospital twice for treatment for a month and only helped to alleviate the symptoms. Ruslan was never examined by a specialist who could have carried out an examination. It was only after the Nagaev family invited a private doctor to the prison hospital that he discovered the inflammation and approved the necessary medical intervention.
A few days after treatment at the hospital, Ruslan was returned to prison, but had a seizure. He was again taken to the FSIN hospital and given treatment, but it did not help.
‘The doctor came to the prison, but did not accept Nagaev,’ – told the lawyer who visited the political prisoner, Yevgeny Goroshko.
We would like to remind that on 27 March 2019, Russian security forces in the occupied Crimea conducted mass searches in 26 houses of Crimean Tatars. They seized some activists’ literature, which, according to Crimean Solidarity, the law enforcers planted themselves. In addition to books and brochures, people were confiscated phones, tablets, laptops and passports. The law enforcers behaved rudely. They used physical force against the detainees. Lawyers, who came to the place of the searches, were not allowed to see their clients. As a result, 20 people were detained, who are suspected of involvement in the activities of organization ‘Hizb ut-Tahrir’ banned in the Russian Federation. On 28 March, three more Crimean Tatar activists were detained and their homes were searched in their absence. On 27-28 March, the occupation court arrested all 23 Crimean Tatar activists detained after the searches. They were given a measure of restraint in the form of detention. Subsequently, all the defendants in the ‘case’ were repeatedly extended the term of their arrest.
