“In occupied Simferopol, the Kyiv District Court chose a preventive measure for four Crimean Tatar women detained after searches in the Bakhchysaray and Sevastopol districts. All the women were sent to the SIZO for two months”, — write: www.radiosvoboda.org
Relatives and Crimean Tatars from different regions of Crimea came to the court building. It is known that the court sent all detainees to the SIZO for two months.
Lawyer Emil Kurbedinov, who represents Nimetulayeva’s interests, said that at the meeting “there were repeated phrases of the FSB that our clients could hide.”
“However, no evidence was actually provided after that, of course. Esma is holding on as well as can be. She was in a cage at the court hearing. An absolutely absurd and terrible situation, which in itself has nothing to do with the law and entails grave consequences in the form of deprivation of liberty of innocent people,” the lawyer stressed.
The defense attorney of 20-year-old Aliyeva, Edem Semedlyaev, said that the girl was sent to the pre-trial detention center, although she was not even brought to administrative responsibility before.
All four meetings regarding the selection of preventive measures for the detained women took place behind closed doors. It is indicated that this is the first case related to Hizb ut-Tahrir involvement, which was initiated in Crimea against women.
As “Crimean Solidarity” reports, the police personally asked people to leave the area near the building, and only the relatives of the detainees remained there.
