Teymur Abdullaev, defendant in the first Simferopol Hizb ut-Tahrir case, has been in the detention chamber of the Russian colony in Bashkortostan for more than 750 days.
It is claimed by the Crimean Solidarity public association.
According to a lawyer Edem Semedliaiev, Teymur connects this with the visit of operatives from the Russian special services, who persuaded him to cooperate.
“The administration of the colony refuses to all complaints, to all requests to review this practice, referring to far-fetched violations”,- the lawyer commented.
The administration of the colony justifies this attitude towards Abdullaev by the fact that he is a malicious violator. In the intervals between the next terms of stay in the detention chamber, the Crimean Tatar is transferred to the punishment cell (a cell with strict conditions of detention), after which he is again placed in a punishment cell.
“The most interesting thing is that the employees already inform about his extension of detention in the detention chamber in advance, the materials are compiled in advance. He counts the number of days spent in the detention chamber, and this is already more than 750 days”,- said Teymur’s wife Alime Abdullaeva.
We remind you that on October 12, 2016, Russian security forces in the village of Strohonivka of Simferopol region arrested five representatives of the indigenous Crimean Tatar people – Uzeir Abdullaev, Teymur Abdullaev, Rustem Ismailov, Emil Dzhemadenov and Aider Saledinov as a result of mass searches. They were accused of participating in the Hizb ut-Tahrir organization banned in the Russian Federation and charged with article 205.5 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“organizing the activities of a terrorist organization and participating in it”).
On June 18, 2019, the North Caucasian District Military Court of the Russian Federation sentenced the so-called Simferopol Hizb ut-Tahrir case defendants: Teymur Abdullaev to 17 years in a maximum security penal colony with a probation term of 1 year and 6 months, Rustem Ismailov – to 14 years, Uzeir Abdullaev – to 13 years, Ayder Saledinov and Emil Dzhemadenov – to 12 years.
On December 24, 2019, the Supreme Court in Moscow reduced the terms of imprisonment of the so-called Simferopol Hizb ut-Tahrir case defendants by 6 months.
