April 21, 2020

Enver Bekirov, a so-called Yalta Hizb ut-Tahrir case defendant, is concerned about skin rashes on his leg, but he does not know what these rashes are related to, since no one provides medical assistance in the pre-trial detention center. It is reported by the Crimean solidarity public initiative.

“Enver Bekirov has skin rashes on his leg, what these rashes are associated with – remains unclear, since nothing was done to establish the origin of these rashes”,- the report said.

We remind that Emir-Huseyn Kuku, Vadim Siruk, Muslim Aliev, Enver Bekirov, Arsen Dzhepparov and Refat Alimov are accused of participation in the organization Hizb ut-Tahrir, which is banned in the Russian Federation. They are charged with Article 205.5 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“organization of the activities of a terrorist organization and participation in it”). Later they began to impute Article 278 of the Criminal Code ("Forced seizure of power or forcible retention of power"). On October 11, during a court session in the Southern District Military Court of Rostov-on-Don, the prosecutor requested 13 to 20 years in prison for the so-called Yalta Hizb ut-Tahrir case defendants. On November 12, the Southern District Military Court in Rostov-on-Don announced the sentence. Muslim Aliev and Enver Bekirov were sentenced to 19 and 18 years in a maximum security penal colony, Emir-Huseyn Kuku and Vadim Siruk – to 12 years, Refat Alimov – to 8 years, Arsen Dzhepparov – to 7 years.
