“On the fifth anniversary of his detention, I call on Russia to release human rights activist Emir-Huseyn Kuku. His case is symptomatic of the persecution of Crimean Tatars and Russia's violation of human rights in the illegally occupied Crimea. #FreeKuku #CrimeaIsUkraine”,- the message said.
We remind that Emir-Huseyn Kuku, Vadym Siruk, Muslim Aliiev, Enver Bekirov, Arsen Dzhepparov and Refat Alimov are accused of participation in the organization Hizb ut-Tahrir, which is banned in the Russian Federation. They are charged with Article 205.5 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (organization of the activities of a terrorist organization and participation in it). Later they began to impute Article 278 of the Criminal Code (Forced seizure of power or forcible retention of power). On October 11, during a court session in the Southern District Military Court of Rostov-on-Don, the prosecutor requested 13 to 20 years in prison for the so-called Yalta Hizb ut-Tahrir case defendants. On November 12, the Southern District Military Court in Rostov-on-Don announced the sentence. Muslim Aliiev and Enver Bekirov were sentenced to 19 and 18 years in a maximum security penal colony, Emir-Huseyn Kuku and Vadym Siruk – to 12 years, Refat Alimov – to 8 years, Arsen Dzhepparov – to 7 years.
