On Monday, June 7, Ruslan Nagaev, a political prisoner involved in the so-called Hizb ut-Tahrir case, turned 57 years old. He is forced to celebrate his birthday in the dungeons of the FSB, where the Russian authorities illegally placed him and other defendants in the so-called case”. The staff of the Crimean Tatar Resource Center sincerely congratulates Ruslan Nagaev on his birthday! We wish you a speedy release and reunification with your family and loved ones, good health, patience, unbending will and prosperity! Allah baht, sabır ve sağlıq bersin!
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 Mesutov and Lenur Khalilov.
The Crimean Tatar Resource Center calls on the international community, international human rights organizations to increase pressure on the Russian Federation and the occupying power of Crimea, in order to end political persecution and cancel previous court decisions.
