December 15, 2020

The defendant in the so-called Hizb ut-Tahrir case Ayder Dzhepparov’s health deteriorated: purulent staphylococcal inflammation formed on his finger. The Crimean Tatar Resource Center was informed about this by Ayder’s wife Marharyta Dzhepparova.

As the wife of the political prisoner said, he could not go to the so-called court session because of poor health. He developed a purulent staphylococcal inflammation on his finger.

“My husband has had a deep abscess on his finger for more than 2 weeks. They underwent medical treatment in a pre-trial detention center. The tumor has subsided, but the pus is oozing, the pain has resumed. So today my husband did not leave the cell to the escorts to go to court, citing poor health”,- she said.

Marharyta noted that the lawyer will write a complaint with a request for surgery.

We remind that on June 10, Russian security forces conducted mass searches in the dwellings of Crimean Tatars in Alushta, Bilohirsk and Simferopol. As a result, 8 people were detained on suspicion of their involvement in the Hizb ut-Tahrir organization banned in the Russian Federation. On June 10 and 11, the so-called Kyiv District Court of Simferopol chose a preventive measure in the form of detention until August 5 for the Crimean Tatars detained after searches – Riza Omerov, Enver Omerov, Ayder Dzhepparov, Eskender Suleymanov, Ruslan Nagaev, Eldar Kantimirov, Ruslan Mensutov and Lenur Khalilov. Subsequently, all the defendants in the so-called case were repeatedly extended the terms of their arrest.
