Political prisoners Vilen Temeryanov and Renat Aliyev are forced to celebrate their birthdays in a Russian pre-trial detention center

January 17, 2024

On Tuesday, January 16, political prisoners involved in the Hizb ut-Tahrir case Vilen Temeryanov and Renat Aliyev turned 39 and 60 years old, respectively. They are forced to celebrate their birthdays in a Russian pre-trial detention center, where they and other defendants in the case were illegally placed by the occupation authorities of the peninsula.

We remind you that the men were detained on August 11, 2022 after massive searches in the houses of Crimean Tatars. They were accused of participating in the Hizb ut-Tahrir organization. Now they are in a pre-trial detention center in Rostov-on-Don.

The team of the Crimean Tatar Resource Center congratulates Vilen Temeryanov and Renat Aliyev on their birthday! We wish you a speedy release and reunification with your family and loved ones, good health, patience, unbending will and prosperity!

We believe and know that justice will be restored very soon!
