Eye in absentia

Judge of the Kyiv District Court of Simferopol Olga Kuznetsova arrested in absentia in absentia, the chairman of the Medzhlis of the Crimean Tatar people Refat Chubarov in the case of public calls for separatism, excited against him in May. The politician living in exile in Kiev reported this on his Facebook page, giving faxesmile a package of documents received by him from Crimea.

As follows from the documents, the decision of Kuznetsova was submitted on October 6 at the request of the FSB Office for the annexed Crimea and Sevastopol, which is conducting the case. The interests of the head of the Majlis were represented by an appointed lawyer Alexei Leonov. The arrest of Chubarov was appointed for a period of two months from the date of his extradition to Russia or detention in Russian territory.

At the same time, lawyer Leonov appealed the choice of a preventive measure to the "Supreme Court" of Crimea.

“The next message of the occupying freaks,” commented the policy of the documents he received. “The Russian Federation who occupied Crimea qualifies my actions as a citizen of Ukraine, trying in all legal ways and actions to contribute to the de -knowledge of Crimea, criminal.”

Chubarov demanded from law enforcement agencies of Ukraine to initiate criminal cases against the investigator, prosecutor and judge Kuznetsova, who participated in the decision on his absentee arrest. At the same time, he stated the absence of claims to the lawyer Leonov, explaining that "the Russian legal system puts the appointed lawyer in an almost hopeless situation."

"I received the documents of the occupation authorities, testifying to the legal lawlessness committed by the Russian Federation in the territory of Crimea temporarily occupied by it in relation to citizens of Ukraine and me personally, will be sent to the European Court of Human Rights, which I had previously filed a lawsuit against the Russian Federation," the head of the Majlis concluded.

Later on Wednesday, according to Interfax, the “prosecutor” of Crimea Natalya Poklonskaya said that a five -year ban on entry into Russia, which was imposed in July 2014, was lifted from Chubarova. When asked by the journalist whether information about the correspondence arrest of the head of the Mejlis is true, the official refused to answer, citing the secret of the investigation. At the same time, she noticed that politics could be detained when entering the peninsula, "if the investigator sees the foundation for this."

The opening of the case against Chubarov became known on May 29 . Politics was imputed part 2 of Article 280.1 of the Russian Criminal Code (public calls for separatism through the media), which provides for up to 5 years in the colony.

According to the security forces, the head of the Mejlis is charged that in April 2015, he, acting on the air of the Ukrainian media, "publicly called for violation of the territorial integrity of the Russian Federation."

Meanwhile, on June 3, Chubarov said that another judge of the Kiev district court, Viktor Mozheleansky, called him a witness to a certain criminal case . As the agenda says, this case was instituted under part 3 of Article 33 - part 3 of Article 30 - points "Z", "Z" Part 2 of Article 105 (the organization of assassination assassination assumption undertaken by an organized group from selfish motives, hiring, or associated with robbery, extortion or banditry) and part 1 of Article 222 of the Russian Criminal Code (illegal turnover of weapons and ammunition). Who is the defendant, was not specified in paper.

At the same time, at that time, a ban on entry into Russia was not reported to the abolition of the prohibition on Chubarov. In this regard, it is unclear how Yelyansky expected to achieve the presence of a politician at the meeting.

The attention of Russian and Crimean officials to the Majlis of the Crimean Tatar people increased, after the food blockade of Crimea began on September 20 at the initiative of this organization. The “prosecutor” of Crimea Natalya Poklonskaya demanded to stop mentioning the Mejlis in the media, the “Deputy Prime Minister” of the region Ruslan Balbek said that the leadership of this structure is connected with the “Islamic state”, and the Russian Public Chamber sent the prosecutor General Yuri Chaika a denunciation of the Majlis members in a number of crimes. Meanwhile, Majlis insists that along with the food, the energy blockade of the annexed peninsula is also begun.
