A judge at the Southern District Military Court ruled to remove political prisoner Yashar Shykhametov from the courtroom. He was charged with disturbing the order. It was reported by the Crimean solidarity public association.
“At the beginning of the court session, the defendant Yashar Shykhametov immediately told the court that he refused to participate in the process until the appeal reviewed the extension of his arrest in the pre-trial detention center. The man also challenged the composition of the court and the prosecutor. Judge Aleksei Magomadov did not react in any way to the defendant's remarks, after which he began to knock on the walls of the so-called aquarium. The presiding judge decided to take the man out of the hall before the end of today's court session”,- the statement said.
We remind you that on February 17, Russian security officials conducted seven searches in the houses of the Crimean Tatars in Bilohirsk, Bakhchysarai, Simferopol, Sevastopol and the Sovietskyy districts of the occupied Crimea. The detainees are charged with Article 205.5 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The so-called Kyiv District Court and the so-called Lenin District Court have chosen a preventive measure in the form of detention until April 15, 2021 for the detained Crimean Tatars – Ernest Ibrahimov, Tymur Yalkabov, Azamat Eiupov, Oleh Fedorov, Lenur Seidametov and Yashar Shykhametov.
