The so-called Zaliznodorizhny District Court of the occupied Simferopol began to consider the claim of the defendant in the so-called Vedzhiie Kashka case Kyazim Amietov about inhuman and degrading conditions of detention in the pre-trial detention center. This was reported by the Crimean Solidarity public association.

Amietov stressed that the conditions of detention were close to torture: for a long time he suffered severe mental suffering, his health deteriorated and chronic diseases worsened.

“Now the parties – the plaintiff and the defendant submit documents that substantiate their positions. In particular, we presented a document, this is a complaint to the ECHR, filed back in 2019 in the interests of Kyazim Amietov, which describes the conditions of detention in the pre-trial detention center and in the punishment cell. At the next meeting we must provide our clarified claims. In turn, the representatives of the prison and the pre-tiral detention center must provide a register of persons and a journal of quantitative registration of persons held there for the required period”,- said lawyer Rustem Kamilev.

We remind that on November 23, 2017, Russian security forces detained a group of activists of the Crimean Tatar national movement – Bekir Degermendzhi, Asan Chapukh, Ruslan Trubach, Kyazim Amietov and Vedzhiie Kashka. The latter became ill, she was called an ambulance. On the way to the hospital, 82-year-old Vedzhie Kashka died. According to the official version of doctors, the cause of death was a heart attack. However, her family and a number of public activists question the official version of death.
