“Idel. Realities” and “Prufs”: in Bashkortostan they detained the blogger of the Urals Baybulatov, who opposed the development of the Kryttau ridge
On the morning of June 5, the security forces came home to the Bashkir Bloger and the social activist of the Urals Baybulatov, who opposed the construction of the plant near the Kryttau ridge. This was reported by "Idel. Realities" and "Prufa" with reference to a friend and lawyer of a man.
The interlocutor of Prufov claims that the prosecution of Baibulatov is connected with the criminal case of a deliberately false message about the impending terrorist attack (part 1 of Article 207 of the Criminal Code).
“He allowed the statements during a visit to Tominsky GOK, knocking on a copper basin,” the publication said.
Telegram channels “Kustau Bayram” and “Insider Bashkortostan” reported that the security forces also came to Magnitogorsk entrepreneur Ildar Khabirov, who previously recorded the dangers of the construction of the enterprise.
“Prufs” with reference to anonymous sources write that the security forces detained at least three opponents of the construction of the plant - their names are not indicated.
In mid -May 2025, Ural Baybulatov published a ten -minute video message on the head of the Republican Office of the FSB Igor Kochnev in VKontakte with a complaint about “distorting facts” in local media about possible construction.
“We remember Kushtau in 2020, when the biased coverage of the situation in the media led to a conflict. <...> A competent information policy would have left acute moments, would give the people information security and trust in the authorities, which is important in the conditions of a difficult geopolitical situation and their own, ”said the public leader, mentioning the former adviser to the head of Bashkortostan Rostislav Murzagulov, who criticized the defenders of Kuzhtau.
In early May, the Administration of the Abzelilovsky district of Bashkortostan did not agree on a mass action in the village of Askarovo against copper mining from the mountain range of Kryttau.
