Relatives of the defendants in the so-called Hizb ut-Tahrir case, who will soon be sentenced to a term of tens of years, go out to single pickets. They demand the release of political prisoners and to stop state terror. This was reported by the Crimean Solidarity public association.
On Friday, December 25, in the Kamianka microdistrict in Simferopol, a relative of the defendants in so-called the Hizb ut-Tahrir case, Fatma Ismailova, went to a solitary picket. On Sunday, December 27, in the center of Simferopol, the wife of political prisoner Ayder Dzhaparov Khabiba also decided to support the illegally convicted. In the village of Azovske, Dzhankoy District, the wife of Riza Omerov – Sevilia Omerov – demanded to release her husband.
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.
