“A patient with coronavirus, instead of providing urgent emergency medical care with all the symptoms of this terrible disease, is confined to a punishment cell for 10 days, where there are no basic human conditions, like a dog thrown out to die!”, – the message said.
The mother hopes that after confirming the test, the political prisoner will be transferred to the medical unit, where he can receive normal treatment and take the required amount of fluid.
We remind that on October 12, 2016, Russian security forces in the village of Strohonivka of Simferopol region arrested five representatives of the indigenous Crimean Tatar people – Uzeir Abdullaev, Teymur Abdullaev, Rustem Ismailov, Emil Dzhemadenov and Aider Saledinov as a result of mass searches. They were accused of participating in the Hizb ut-Tahrir organization banned in the Russian Federation and charged with article 205.5 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“organizing the activities of a terrorist organization and participating in it”).
