After numerous complaints about expired dry rations that were given to Crimean political prisoners, the products began to be placed to plastic bags without labeling. The defendant in the so-called second Bakhchysarai Hizb ut-Tahrir case Edem Smailov sent complaints to the supervisory authorities. This was reported by the Graty media agency.
The lawyer Nazim Sheikhmambetov, representing his client Edem Smailov, sent an appeal to the department of the Federal Penitentiary Service in the Rostov Region, where Smailov is held in jail, as well as to the regional prosecutor.
“The process usually starts at 10:00 and ends at 17:00-18:00. Between February 25 and 28, Edem Smailov was provided with food of unknown origin and an unknown shelf life (presumably dry ration, the contents of which were transferred to a plastic bag, without labeling and shelf life), which is why Smailov, fearing for his life and health, was also forced to refuse consuming such food. Unreasonable risk for the health and life of the client entails a gross violation of his rights”,- wrote Sheikhmambetov in the appeal.
We remind that on October 11, 2017, in the city of Bakhchisaray, the invaders conducted mass searches in 6 dwellings of the Crimean Tatars – Marlen Asanov, Seyran Saliiev, Timur Ibrahimov, Memet Belyalov, Ernest Ametov, Server Zakiryaev. Everyone was detained. They were charged under Article 205.5 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Participation in the activities of an organization that, in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation, is recognized as terrorist.”
On May 21, 2018, Russian security forces raided the dwellings of activists of the Crimean Solidarity public association in occupied Crimea, as a result of which Server Mustafayev and Edem Smailov were detained. They are accused of participating in the organization Hizb ut-Tahrir, which is banned on the territory of the Russian Federation.
On December 14, 2018, Server Mustafayev was sent to a psychiatric hospital for a so-called examination. Mustafayev himself described his placement in a psychiatric hospital as punitive psychiatry.
In February 2019, Mustafayev was accused of spreading, studying and promoting extremist ideology.
On September 12, 2019, eight figurants involved in the so called second Bakhchysarai “Hizb ut-Tahrir case” – Marlen Asanov, Server Zakiryaev, Memet Belyalov, Seyran Saliiev, Ernes Ametov, Timur Ibrahimov, Edem Smailov and Server Mustafayev were transferred from Crimea to Rostov.
