The Crimean Tatar, political prisoner Server Zakiryaev was again imprisoned in the punishment chamber. This was reported by his wife Zarema Zakiryaeva to the Crimean Solidarity.
“Each time they extended his term in the punishment chamber for 15 days. Then, on April 26, he was placed in punishment chamber. He stayed there until July 26”,- the message says.
Server Zakiryaev is now in correctional colony 1 in the city of Donskoy, Tula region of Russia.
“He was told that he would never return to the barracks. This means that detention and punishment chambers are his places. The reason is his article, 205.5. I don’t know if he received threats, but the man wrote like this”,- the woman added.
