On Wednesday, April 28, the former political prisoner, a defendant in the so-called case of Ukrainian saboteurs Gleb Shabliy turned 46 years old. The staff of the Crimean Tatar Resource Center sincerely congratulates Gleb Shabliy on his birthday! We wish you good health, unbending will and prosperity!
We remind that on November 9, 2016, FSB officers detained in Sevastopol Vladimir Dudka, Dmitriy Shtyblikov, Oleksiy Bessarabov and Gleb Shabliy on suspicion of plotting sabotage in Crimea (Article 30 and Paragraph A of Part 2 of Article 281 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry stated that these repressive actions are being carried out for an external audience in an attempt to discredit Ukraine in the eyes of the world community, as well as for an internal Russian audience in order to convince that Ukrainians are allegedly dangerous.
On May 18, 2017, Dmitriy Shtyblikov entered into a pre-trial agreement with the investigation, that is, he admitted his guilt. None of the independent lawyers were allowed to see him. On November 16, 2017, the so-called Sevastopol City Court sentenced him to 5 years in a strict regime colony and to a fine of 200 thousand rubles.
In March 2021, Gleb Shabliy was released and returned to Ukraine.
