Crimean Tatar and political prisoner Server Zekiryayev continues to suffer in torturous conditions in the penal colony No. 1 in the Tula region. This was reported by his wife Zarema Zekiryayeva.<\/p>\n
Since August of this year, there have been repeated reports of torturous conditions of detention of Zekiryayev. According to his wife, after eating and training, Server vomits foam, feels a constant bitter taste in his throat, and gets dizzy. His health is exhausted, and the poisoning continues to worsen his condition. In addition, the political prisoner is forced to breathe fumes from sewer pipes.<\/p>\n
The administration of the colony refuses to respond to his complaints, as well as to his constant demands to be transferred from the\u00a0 cell-type-premise. Justifying his detention in harsh conditions, the colony staff blames him \u201cfor his lifestyle\u201d and regularly calls him a \u201cterrorist\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wrote a letter to the Investigative Department of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation in the Tula region demanding to check the conditions of my husband’s detention. In response, I received a document calling for a review of the appeal \u201con the fact of possible illegal actions on the part of officials of the Federal Correctional Institution No. 1 of the Russian Federal Penitentiary Service in the Tula region in relation to Server Zekiryayev,\u201d – Zarema added.<\/p>\n
Server’s wife continues to appeal to all possible authorities to intervene in the situation. She also calls on the public and the international community to stand up in defense of political prisoner Zekiryayev and all political prisoners, demanding their immediate release.<\/p>\n
Let us recall that on October 11, 2017, in the city of Bakhchysaray, the occupiers conducted massive searches in 6 houses of Crimean Tatars – Marlen Asanov, Seyran Saliiev, Timur Ibragimov, Memet Belyalov, Ernes Ametov, Server Zekiryayev. All of them were detained. They were charged under Article 205.5 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation \u201cParticipation in the activities of an organization recognized as a terrorist organization in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation\u201d. On September 16, 2020, the Southern District Military Court in Rostov-on-Don sentenced the Crimean Tatars to terms of 13 to 19 years in prison.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
