The health of the main person involved in the first (Sevastopol) case of Crimean Muslims Ruslan Zeitullaev, who has been holding a hunger strike for 10 days, has seriously worsened. This was announced on his FB page by the lawyer of Politsyk Emil Kurbedinov, who arrived in the North Caucasus District Military Court in Rostov-on-Don for the next meeting of Zeytullaev’s repeated process.
During the hunger strike, the lawyer wrote, the political prisoner lost 6.2 kilograms of weight. “Standing Ruslan can no longer say,” Kurbedinov remarked.
During the meeting, Zeytullaev called an ambulance. After that, the judges on their own initiative interrogated the paramedic, who examined the starving.
Meanwhile, at the request of Kurbedinov about the interrogation of experts, witnesses, a district police officer and other persons, the college refused.
Zeytullaev announced a hunger strike at the previous meeting in his case , which took place on April 4. Politzek put forward three demands. The first is the cessation of the persecution of all Crimean Tatars in cases of extremism and terrorism, as well as in the "case of February 26". The second is to ensure the access of representatives of the Foreign Ministry of Ukraine to him in the Rostov SIZO -1. Third - the abolition of sentences to the three defendants in Sevastopol Muslims: Nuri (Yuri) Primov, Rustem Vaitov and Frat Saifullaev - who are already serving deadlines in the colonies. Politsyk emphasized that they are pursued exclusively on a national and religious basis.
As QHA clarifies , the Zeitullaev hunger strike is somewhat softer than the generally accepted: the political zyt drinks not only water, but also tea without sugar.
None of the requirements of the hunger strike is still fulfilled. On Monday, "Crimea. Realities" with reference to the press secretary of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, Maryan Betsu reported that the consuls were stubbornly trying to get permission to meet with Zeytullaev in jail, but the Russian side did not give such permission.
31-year-old Zeytullaev-a worker worker from the village of Orlinin within the annexed Sevastopol. He was arrested on January 23, 2015. Politzeku was charged with part 1 of Article 205.5 of the Russian Criminal Code (organization of activities of a terrorist organization), which provides for a period of 15 years to life.
According to the plot of the case, which was led by the Crimean Glavk of the FSB, in March 2014, Zeytullaev organized in the villages of Orlin, the rear and assault Balaklava district of Sevastopol, as well as in other parts of the city, the Khizb Ut-Tyrir cell for the creation of the Crimean Vilaifat in Sevastopol as an administrative unit of the World Caliphate. It is claimed, from Primov, Vaitov and Saifullaev, he demanded the propaganda of the ideas "Hizb Ut -Tahrir", to recruit new members, and in the future to organize his own units of this structure.
All four Political Zecks, during the investigation, refused to testify. Zeytullaev did not testify also during the first process.
In the debate of the parties, the prosecutor demanded for Zeytullaev a 17 -year -old regime, for Saifullaev - 8 years in general, for Primov and Vaitov - 7 years of general regime. Unlike the main person involved, the rest of the three was charged with part 2 of Article 205.5 of the Code (participation in the activities of a terrorist organization), which in the editorial office acting at the time of the episodes incriminated by him provides for from 5 to 10 years in the colony.
The verdict to the defendants of the case was issued on September 7, 2016, the collegium of Skovs, chaired by Vyacheslav Korsakov. The judges retrained the charge to Zeitullaev from part 1 of Article 205.5 to part 2 and gave him seven years of general regime. The remaining three political zones received the minimum terms provided for by the Code.
None of the defendants pleaded guilty. Speaking with the last word, they announced the political motivation of the case .
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."
Hearing on the merits of the case as part of the re -process of Zeytullaev opened on February 13 . The names of the judges, as far as is known, were not specified in the media and social networks. It is known that the accusation is supported by the same prosecutor as in the first process. Along with Kurbedinov, the interests of the political prisoner are represented by lawyer Eden Semedlyaev. In addition, the judges imposed a defender to Zeitullaev for their intended purpose, despite the discharge declared by the defendants.
Meanwhile, sentences to Primov, Vaitov and Saifullaev after consideration of an appeal in the Armed Forces entered into legal force. Primov is contained in the Mari IK-5 in the village of Yasius Sovetsky District, Vaitov- in IK-1 in Kurgan , and Saifullaev- in the Kirov IK-17 in Omutninsk .
