The defendant in the so-called second Simferopol Hizb ut-Tahrir case in Simferopol, Medzhit Abdurakhmanov, who was previously worried about persistent back pain, was diagnosed with muscle failure. This was reported by the Crimean Solidarity publica association.
“Due to constant pains in the back and spine, political prisoner Medzhit Abdurakhmanov, who is the defendant in the so-called second Simferopol Hizb ut-Tahrir case, underwent a medical examination, during which muscle failure was identified and a course of treatment was determined”,- the message said.
We remind that on March 27, 2019, Russian security forces in the occupied Crimea carried out mass searches in 26 Crimean Tatars' dwellings. Literature was seized from some activists, which, according to Crimean Solidarity, the security forces planted themselves. In addition to books and brochures, people were confiscated phones, tablets, laptops, passports. The servicemen behaved rudely. It is reported that they used physical force against detainees and entered the houses in shoes. Lawyers who arrived at the site of the searches were not allowed to contact the detainees. According to the results of the searches, 20 people were suspected of involvement in the "Hizb ut-Tahrir" organization, which is banned in the Russian Federation. On March 28, three more Crimean Tatar activists were detained, in whose dwellings searches were carried out in their absence. On March 27-28, the occupation court arrested all 23 detainees after searches. They chose a preventive measure in the form of detention. Subsequently, all the individuals involved in this so-called case were repeatedly extended the terms of their arrest.
