In Crimea, a complaint was rejected regarding the restriction of familiarization with the materials of the case of a Hizb ut-Tahrir defendant.

The Supreme Court of the Republic of Crimea terminated legal proceedings on an appeal against the limitation of time for familiarization with the materials of the criminal case of the second Simferopol Hizb ut-Tahrir group against the defendant Izzet Abdullayev. This is reported by the Crimean Solidarity portal with reference to Abdullayev's lawyer.

The defense demanded to cancel the decision, which had previously been issued by the Kyiv District Court, on limiting the study of the volumes of the criminal case. The Supreme Court refused to consider the case and terminated the proceedings on the complaint, referring to the fact that the case is no longer within its competence and is located in Rostov-on-Don, where the case is being considered on the merits.

Abdullayev has been in custody for about two years, he is accused of participating in the activities of a terrorist organization (part 2 of article 205.5 of the Criminal Code). Together with other Crimean Tatars, he is included in the group of defendants in the so-called second Simferopol case. Now he is being held in a pre-trial detention center in Rostov-on-Don.

• Hizb ut-Tahrir was recognized as a terrorist organization in Russia. In this regard, criminal cases are initiated in different regions of the country, while the defendants are sentenced to various terms in a strict regime colony only on the basis that they met in apartments, read religious literature and spread their ideas. According to a number of experts, Hizb ut-Tahrir was unlawfully recognized as a terrorist organization, since its members in Russia did not prepare or carry out terrorist acts.
