Siyar Panych noted that despite quarantine, lawyers are allowed to contact the detainees. He discussed with the political prisoner the materials of the case, the course of the trial and agreed on the positions in the course of further consideration of the case.
“The state of his health has improved, there is no temperature, but, in his words, in case of illness of one of the detainees, and there are 8 people in the cell, he will not be isolated and after that the whole cell will sequentially get sick with these colds. Proper treatment is not provided, just the symptoms are relieved. Therefore, the political prisoners who are being held develop complications: their ears hurt, they get inflammations, etc”,- he explained.
We remind that on October 11, 2017 in the city of Bakhchisaray, the invaders conducted mass searches in 6 Crimean Tatars' dwellings. Everyone was detained. They were charged under part 2 of Article 205.5. of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Participation in the activities of an organization which, 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 also accused of participating in the organization Hizb ut-Tahrir, which is prohibited on the territory of the Russian Federation.
