Shaban Umerov and Ruslan Nagaev are fed pork in prison

December 20, 2023

Political prisoners, Crimean Tatars Shaban Umerov and Ruslan Nagaev, are given food with pork in prison, despite their religion. This was reported by the sources of the Crimean Tatar Resource Center in Crimea.

It is known that political prisoners complained about adding pork to their food because they could not eat it due to religion.

We remind you that on March 27, Russian security forces in the occupied Crimea conducted mass searches in 26 houses of Crimean Tatars. Literature was confiscated from some activists, which, according to Crimean Solidarity, the security forces themselves planted. In addition to books and brochures, phones, tablets, laptops, and passports were confiscated from people. The security forces behaved rudely. They reportedly used physical force against the detainees. They entered the house in shoes. Lawyers who arrived at the place of the searches were not allowed to see their clients. According to the results, 20 people were detained, who are suspected of involvement in the Hizb ut-Tahrir organization banned in the Russian Federation. On March 28, three more Crimean Tatar activists were detained, and searches were carried out in their homes in their absence. The whereabouts of another Crimean Tatar, Edem Yayachikov, remains unknown. On March 27-28, the occupation court arrested all 23 Crimean Tatar activists detained after searches.
