Lawyer Edem Semedlyaev noted that in all the procedural documents the invaders indicated that the defendants in the Hizb ut-Tahrir case had Ukrainian citizenship, but not in the prosecution.

The invaders did not indicate in the indictment in the Hizb ut-Tahrir case whether the defendants Remzi Bekirov, Raim Aivazov, Shaban Umerov and Farkhod Bazarov had Ukrainian citizenship. On December 27, Bekirov’s lawyer, Edem Semedlyaev, said this in a comment to Krym.Realii.

“In general, the logic of the investigation can not be understood, because in all the procedural documents, detention and interrogation protocols, it is indicated everywhere that the accused are citizens of Ukraine. Why, as a result, the investigator did not include this in the indictment, it is not clear. This may be due to the fact that the investigation does not have the original Ukrainian passport or other reasons, “he said.

At the same time, another person involved in the case: Rizy Izetova – Ukrainian citizenship is still included in the case, said the lawyer.

The occupiers often use the presence of Ukrainian citizens when they extend a measure of restraint in court as an argument that the accused can supposedly hide and leave, but the fact that they are bound by the Fourth Geneva Convention is completely ignored when pass court decisions, Krym.Realii notes. …

Russia annexed Crimea after an energetic blockade of Ukrainian military units and illegal referendum on March 16, 2014… Ukraine and most of the countries of the world do not recognize the accession of the peninsula to the Russian Federation. Following the annexation of Crimea, according to human rights defenders from the international organization Human Rights Watch, the human rights situation in the peninsula has significantly deteriorated… Under various pretexts, including the fight against extremism, the authorities persecute people who dare to openly criticize Russia’s actions on the peninsula, especially the Crimean Tatars.

Hizb ut-Tahrir is an international Islamic political organization that calls for the unification of all Muslim countries into one caliphate, but rejects terrorist fighting methods. Russia recognized the organization as a terrorist in 2003, Hizb ut-Tahrir’s activities in the country are prohibited. Hizb ut-Tahrir is a legal organization under Ukrainian law. In Western Europe and North America, it is also not prohibited, with the exception of administrative restrictions on its activities in Germany.

In September, 89 Crimean Tatars were in Russian prisons, reported Ukrainian ombudsman Lyudmila Denisova.
