Crimean political prisoner and civic journalist Remzi Bekirov was transfered from prison number 2 Yeniseysk Krasnoyarsk region rf. This was reported by his wife Khalida Bekirova on her Facebook page.
It is not yet known where exactly the political prisoner will be transferred.
We will remind, on 27 March 2019 Russian security forces in the occupied Crimea conducted mass searches in 26 houses of Crimean Tatars. As a result, 20 people were detained, who are suspected of involvement in the activities of organization “Hizb ut-Tahrir” banned in rf.
Subsequently, the arrests of political prisoners were repeatedly extended, and some of them have already been sentenced. For example, Remzi Bekirov was sentenced by a Russian court to 19 years in prison. He must serve the first 5 years in prison, and the rest of the time – in a strict regime penal colony with a restriction of 1 year 6 months.
