September 28, 2023

The whereabouts of political prisoner Amet Suleymanov with health problems still remains unknown. His lawyer Lilya Gemedzhi told Crimean Solidarity about this.

Yesterday, September 27, a court session was supposed to take place in the Zaliznodorizhnyy district court of Akyar (Simferopol) to consider the issue of Suleymanov’s release, but he was not connected to the video link. The family was informed that he had been transported to Vladimir, but it was unknown when he would arrive there.

In addition, it is unclear when the next hearing will take place, since the prosecutor stated that the proceedings in the case should be transferred to Suleymanov’s place of residence, that is, to Vladimir. The court agreed with this requirement.

We remind you that civilian journalist Amet Suleymanov was taken into custody on April 6.

On April 26, the necessary medications were taken away from him, despite the fact that doctors prescribed him an operation to replace a heart valve and personally prescribed all the necessary medications.

On August 29, it became known that Suleymanov was transferred to Russian territory.
