The case of the Crimean Tatar Leniie Umerova, who was arrested by the occupants for 2 months allegedly for espionage, was classified in Russia. It is reported by the Crimea.Realities.
“We are not given any details of the case, all materials are classified. A non-disclosure agreement was taken from the lawyer. We can’t contact her directly, we can only contact her through a lawyer. All messages to her are checked by special services, as well as some messages from Leniie are checked”,- said her brother Aziz Umerov.
We remind you that on December 4, 2022, Russian security forces detained Leniie Umerova after crossing the Georgian-Russian border, allegedly for violating the rules of the regime zone. The girl was traveling from Kyiv to the occupied Crimea due to the deterioration of her father’s condition. Until March 16, Leniie was held in a temporary detention center for foreign citizens near Vladikavkaz. The occupants found the girl guilty of violating the regime of the state border (part 1 of article 18 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation) and fined her 2,000 rubles.
On the night of March 16, 2023, Leniie Umerova was released, but they grabbed her, put a bag over her head, brought her to an unfamiliar district of Vladikavkaz and left her there. The woman was again detained and a protocol was drawn up against her for disobedience to the police. She was assigned 15 days of administrative arrest. Subsequently, this was repeated three times.
On May 5, the Lefortovo Court in Moscow arrested Crimean Tatar Leniie Umerova for 2 months on suspicion of high treason (Article 275 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).
