Against the biases

The main person involved in the first (Sevastopol) case of Crimean Muslims Ruslan Zeitullaev declared an indefinite hunger strike. This was announced by the Politzek at a meeting of the collegium of the North Caucasus District Military Court in Rostov-on-Don, Crimea . Real reports with reference to the lawyer of the accused Emil Kurbedinov.

"Zeytullaev announced distrust and withdrawal to the entire composition of the court. This was also not satisfied. After that, he made a statement that he announces a hunger strike in connection with the persecution of Crimean Tatars in the Crimea, in connection with the persecution of civilian activists and the absolutely political bias of his criminal case. He nominated a number of requirements, including the transfer of him to the territory of Ukraine, since he is a Ukrainian," the lawyer said.

According to Kurbedinov, a number of petitions made a defense at the meeting. One of them, about the call as witnesses of the already convicted persons involved in the case Nuri (Yuri) Primov, Rustem Vaitov and Ferat Saifullaev, the court satisfied. However, the judges refused to hear the authors of the examinations in the case.

The next hearing was scheduled for April 14.

On February 13, the court began a second consideration of the case of Zeytullaev , whose sentence was canceled by the Russian Supreme Court as unreasonably soft. The judges rejected a number of petitions declared by the Politzek and his lawyers. In particular, they refused to defend the challenge of the prosecutor, despite the fact that he maintained the charge in the first process in the case and in the withdrawal of the imposed politician defender for their intended purpose. The defenders by appointment were imposed on the accused in the first court, despite the fact that all the defendants had lawyers by agreement.

In addition, the judges refused to defend the request not to put Zeytullaev in a cage during the meeting. Thus, they ignored the repeatedly made decisions of the ECHR , which recognize such an appeal with the defendants violating Article 3 (prohibition of torture and inhuman or humiliating the dignity of circulation) of the European Convention.

Finally, Politzek was denied the application to recognize the techniques that his escorts use unacceptable. “Zeytullaev explained that he was being brought into the hall and taken out of the hall as a particularly dangerous criminal. Twisting his hands behind his back so that he was forced to move in a belt,” Kurbedinov explained. According to the lawyer, the employees of the Consulate General of Ukraine in Rostov under various pretexts are refused to visit Zeytullaev.

Eden Semedlyaev’s lawyer, in turn, remarked: "The accusation is built on the same evidence, nothing has changed. The result should be different with all the same source data."

According to the lawyer, Zeytullaev has complaints about health, however, despite the many appeals, the FSINESS refuse to provide him with the necessary medicines or allow him to be transferred from their will. Semedlyaev noted that even the vitamins sent by his wife were not given to Politzek, saying that he had no testimony for their reception. A independent doctor is also not allowed to politicalzek. In addition, the Fsinovites took from Zeytullaev a Qur'an in Arabic, referring to the fact that the book needs to be checked.

The prosecutor's office appealed the verdict to Zeytullaev. The submission of the departmentwas considered on December 27, 2016 simultaneously with the appeal of the defense. The collegium of the Supreme Court as part of Igor Krupnov, Alexander Zamashnyuk and Sergey Sokkerin canceled the sentence to the main defendant and confirmed the decisions in relation to the other three.

In the last word, at the hearing in the Armed Forces, Zeytullaev emphasized: "I am judged by my thoughts. I will not change them and I will believe that I am right. I am not a terrorist, this is a lie. I am a Muslim, the Crimean Tatar, so they haunt me."
