The occupation authorities opened a so-called administrative case against the mother-in-law of the defendant in the so-called second Bakhchisaray Hizb ut-Tahrir case Edem Smailov, who was sentenced to 13 years, because of a single picket in support of a relative. This was reported by the Crimean Solidarity public association.
It is noted that a woman is being prosecuted for participating in a solitary picket, which police officers regard as a public event that violated Sergei Aksyonov's decree “On the introduction of a high alert regime on the territory of the Republic of Crimea” dated March 17, 2020.
“The decision to initiate administrative proceedings on the fact was issued against another person – Kelemova (the woman's surname is Keliamova). That is, in several documents her surname is different. Also, when drawing up an administrative protocol, her rights were violated. The question of the need for an interpreter was not clarified, her rights and obligations were not explained, no witnesses were invited”,- said lawyer Lilia Hemedzhi.
We remind that on October 11, 2017, in the city of Bakhchisaray, the invaders carried out mass searches in 6 dwellings of 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 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 the occupied Crimea, as a result of which Server Mustafayev and Edem Smailov were detained. They were also accused of their membership in Hizb ut-Tahrir organisation, which is prohibited on the territory of the Russian Federation.
In February 2019, a criminal case was opened against eight individuals involved in the so-called second Bakhchisaray Hizb ut-Tahrir case – Marlen Asanov, Seyran Saliiev, Timur Ibrahimov, Memet Belyalov, Ernest Ametov, Server Zakiryaev, Server Mustafayev and Edem Smailov (“Violent seizure of power or violent retention of power”).
On March 5, it became known that the two defendants in the so-called second Bakhchysarai Hizb ut-Tahrir case – Timur Ibrahimov and Memet Belyalov – had their charge tightened from part two of Article 205.5 of the Criminal Code (“participation in the activities of a terrorist organization”) to the part one (“organization of the activities of a terrorist organization”).
On September 16, the Southern District Military Court in Rostov-on-Don announced the verdict to the defendants in the second so-called Bakhchisaray
