The Russian FSB published a video of the detention of the Crimean Tatar Leniie Umerova , who was arrested by the occupants for 2 months, allegedly for espionage.
“The FSB announced the detention of a citizen of Ukraine, who passed on to the special services information about the deployment and tasks of Russian troops, including those performing tasks in the Kyiv district”,- the FSB said in a statement.
According to the girl’s brother Aziz Umerov, 25-year-old Leniie was transferred by a separate plane.
We remind you that on December 4, 2022, Russian security forces detained Leniie Umerova after crossing the Georgian-Russian border, allegedly for violating the rules of the regime zone. The girl was traveling from Kyiv to the occupied Crimea due to the deterioration of her father’s condition. Until March 16, Leniie was held in a temporary detention center for foreign citizens near Vladikavkaz. The occupants found the girl guilty of violating the regime of the state border (part 1 of article 18 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation) and fined her 2,000 rubles.
On the night of March 16, 2023, Leniie Umerova was released, but they grabbed her, put a bag over her head, brought her to an unfamiliar district of Vladikavkaz and left her there. The young woman was again detained and a protocol was drawn up against her for disobedience to the police. She was assigned 15 days of administrative arrest. Subsequently, this was repeated three times.
On May 5, the Lefortovo Court in Moscow arrested Crimean Tatar Leniie Umerova for 2 months on suspicion of high treason (Article 275 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).
