A Crimean Tatar family was searched in Crimea

In Belogorsk, FSB officers searched the house of Akim Kurtdede, a Crimean Tatar. This was reported on the page of the Crimean Solidarity movement.

The man himself, according to the movement, went to Europe to work. During the search, his parents Sevie and Tair Kurtdede, as well as 22-year-old younger sister Alime, were in the house.

Law enforcers showed the family the search warrant, but did not explain what they were looking for or why. After the search, the whole family was taken to the FSB department in Belogorsk, where Tair Kurtdede was interrogated. Later, all three were released from management.

According to Crimean Solidarity, the FSB already put pressure on Akim Kurtdede in 2017.
