Relatives of the defendants in the so0-called Krasnohvardiiske Hizb ut-Tahrir case, who will soon be sentenced to tens of years, go out to pickets. They demand the release of political prisoners, since they are not terrorists.

“He is not a terrorist. He is a repentant Muslim, honest, kind. He helps everyone with little property. He is a very good man himself. The prosecutor gave him 15 years in advance. Why? From the cry of my mother's heart, I went to a solo picket so that everyone they saw that my son is not a terrorist”,- said Arsen Abkhairov's mother.

According to the Crimean Solidarity public association, the so-called police officers arrived at the picket of Zura Emiruseinova and began to draw up a protocol. After these events, the woman became ill, she was hospitalized in a hospital with a hypertensive crisis.

We remind that on February 14, 2019, Russian security forces conducted searches in the dwellings of Crimean Tatars in the village of Oktiabrske of Krasnohvardiisk district. Three men were detained and taken to the FSB. Criminal proceedings were instituted against them on suspicion of organizing and participating in the activities of the Hizb ut-Tahrir organization banned in the Russian Federation.

On February 15, the so-called Kyiv District Court of Simferopol arrested Eskender Abdulhaniev, Rustem Emiruseinov and Arsen Abkhairov detained after a search of the Crimean Tatars on suspicion of membership in the Hizb ut-Tahrir organization, which was banned in Russia.
