On 4 September 2024, political prisoner, Crimean Tatar Aziz Akhtemov was escorted from the prison in the city of Yeniseysk, Krasnoyarsk region of rf. This was reported by his wife Adile Akhtemova on her Facebook page.

The woman noted that she tried to call the prison in the city of Yeniseysk and find out the exact information, but it was useless. So far there is no news about the whereabouts of her husband and in what direction he is being taken.

Recall that on 3-4 September 2021 in the occupied Crimea, the houses of Crimean Tatars Eldar Odamanov, Aziz Akhtemov, Shevket Useinov, Asan Akhtemov and Nariman Dzhelyal were searched. The law enforcers seized equipment and took the men away with them. Later it became known that Nariman Dzhelyal and his cousins Aziz and Asan Akhtemov were suspected of complicity in sabotage. The occupiers claim that they are involved in damaging the gas pipeline in the village of Perevalnoe in the Simferopol district of Crimea.

On 21 September 2022, the Supreme ‘court’ of Crimea announced the sentence of Aziz Akhtemov. He received 13 years of strict regime colony with a fine of 500 thousand rubles with restriction of freedom for 1 year.
