Occupants want to escort political prisoner Muratov to Russian jail

The Southern District Military Court ordered the escort of Zekirya Muratov, a defendant in the so-called Hizb ut-Tahrir case, from the occupied Crimea to the Russian pre-trial detention center. Muratov was detained during the July 7 mass searches. This was reported by the Crimean Solidarity public association.

Lawyer Emine Avamileva also expressed concern about the state of health of political prisoner Muratov. A man is a person with a disability of the III group of a general disease. In addition, he still has a cough, and no one took tests for the presence or absence of coronavirus infection from him.

“In his words, in October of this year he was taken to the Semashko Republican Hospital only once for examination and consultation with a neurologist. His health remained the same, and now the cough has deteriorated”,- she explained.

We remind that on July 7, Russian security forces conducted mass searches in the dwellings of the Crimean Tatars in the Bakhchisaray, Krasnohvardiiske and Simferopol districts of the occupied Crimea. Seven people were detained. All were taken to the FSB headquarters in Simferopol. On July 7, the so-called Kyiv District Court of Simferopol sent Oleksandr Syzykov, a disabled individual of the first group, under house arrest. On July 8, the so-called Kyiv District Court of the occupied Crimea chose a measure of restraint for Ismet Ibrahimov, Zekirya Muratov, Vadym Bektemyrov, Emil Ziyadinov, Alim Sufyanov and Seyran Khayretdynov in the form of detention.
