On Tuesday, January 31, political prisoner Rustem Tairov turned 53 years old. He is forced to celebrate his birthday in a Russian pre-trial detention center, where he and other defendants in the case were illegally placed by the Russian authorities. The team of the Crimean Tatar Resource Center sincerely congratulates Rustem Tairov on his birthday! We wish you a speedy release and reunification with your family and loved ones, good health, patience, unbending will and well-being
Recall that on August 17, 2021, Russian security forces came to the homes of five Crimean Tatars: Dzhebbar Bekirov, Zaur Abdullayev, Rustem Tairov, Raif Fevziiev and Rustem Murasov. All activists were detained and placed in a pre-trial detention center.
