Political prisoner Kuku was put on the preventive record

September 16, 2021

Political prisoner Emir-Huseyn Kuku was put on the preventive record as prone to attacking the employees of the correctional institution. This was reported by the Crimean Solidarity public association.

It is noted that the reason was an incident in the Kurgan colony, where a prisoner killed a representative of the Federal Penitentiary Service. In the same colony there are now political prisoners of Crimea – Emil Dzhemadenov, Uzeir Abdullaev, Enver Seitosmanov, Refat Alimov and Arsen Dzhepparov.

We remind that Emir-Huseyn Kuku, Vadym Siruk, Muslim Aliev, 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 Aliev 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.
