The court extended until July 22 the arrest of the deputy head of the Majlis Akhtem Chiygoz

The Supreme Court of the annexed Crimea extended until July 22 the arrest of the deputy head of the Majlis of the Crimean Tatar people Akhtem Chiygoz, the main person involved in the “February 26 case”. This was reported by his lawyer Nikolai Polozov.

Chiygoz himself was present in the courtroom. On the eve of the meeting on the extension of the arrest was postponed to Friday due to the fact that the deputy head of the Majlis was not taken to court.

On April 15, Chiygoz was repeatedly charged under part 1 of Article 212 of the Russian Criminal Code (organization of mass riots), which provides from 8 to 15 years in the colony. The same composition was incriminated to Politzeku earlier, before the return of the "case on February 26" to the prosecutor's office. On the return of the case when he was considered by the Supreme Court of Crimea, Chiygoz himself insisted, saying that the formulations of the accusations against him were blurry, which contradicts the Russian Code of Criminal Procedure.

On April 20, Polozov published Faximile a statement of a crime sent by Chiygoz addressed to the chairman of the Investigative Committee of Alexander Bastrykin. The political prisoner demanded to initiate a case against the judge of the Russian Supreme Court of Crimea Galina Redko, who on March 2 extended his arrest with a gross violation of the procedure - without an open court hearing. In the actions of Redko, Chiygoz noted, there are compositions of articles 293 (negligence) and 301 Russian Criminal Code (illegal detention).

“The head of the TFR and his subordinates will really undertake to investigate the illegal activity of Judge Redko G.V. among the searches of external/internal enemies and the factory of political affairs,” Polozov commented on the statement of his principal. “At the same time, this message about the crime is one of the steps that we take and are going to take.”

On April 21, the Kiev District Court of Simferopol extended the period of detention of Chiygoz in the pre -trial detention center until May 5 . The investigator in particularly important cases of the Crimean headquarters of the TFR Pavel Nickel insisted on extensioning the arrest until May 22. However, then the investigation in the case was set until May 5, and the content in the pre -trial detention center at the end of the investigation is unacceptable. The defense of the Politzke indicated this circumstance. Meanwhile, Nickel substantiated his petition by preparing a decision to extend the investigation and sent it to approval to Moscow, but he did not receive an answer at the time of the meeting.

On April 24, the same courtextended the arrest of Chiygoz until May 22 . "I am deliberately sued. I turn to the court and want to emphasize: I have enough willpower for this lawlessness that is being repaired with me, just ignore it. But I bother consciously, because the whole world should know how much the consequence, prosecutor’s office and ships in Crimea are ignored the rights and rights of the Crimean Tatar. When the law says one thing, and all the busy is made completely different, - they said at the meeting. - and I will sue to the end, knowing that they will put me, I will sue and prove that you are all puppets, simply fulfill the will of politicians. ”

The “case of February 26” was initiated by the clashes that occurred in 2014 by the Verkhovna Rada of Crimea between participants in two rallies organized respectively supporters and opponents of Euromaidan. According to the prosecutor's office of the annexed peninsula, during these clashes, "two people died, 79 bodily harm of varying severity were caused."

All the defendants in the case are Crimean Tatars, participants in the rally in support of the Euromaidan. All the involved in the case, except for Chiygoz, were charged with part 2 of Article 212 (participation in the riots), the sanction of which is from 3 to 8 years of the colony. In total, six accused in the case - along with Chiygoz, is Ali Asanov, Mustafa Deggermendi, Escender Kantemirov, Eskender Emirvaliev and Arsen Yunusov. The last three are free, although Kantemirov and Emirviliev in 2015 also spent several months in jail. Whether the Yunusov was kept under arrest is unknown.
