Crimean Tatar political prisoner put in ShIZO

The former owner of the Crimean Tatar cultural and ethnographic center "Salachik" and citizen journalist Marlen Asanov has been in the ShIZO of the colony of Mordovia for more than a month. This was reported by his mother.

“He did not commit any violations. When he was sent to a punishment cell, he asked what complaints he had. And he was told that Article 205.5 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, under which he is imprisoned, is enough to send him to a punishment cell,” said the mother of the political prisoner. Marlene has been suffering from arthritis since childhood, and in the conditions of imprisonment, the disease worsened. Now he often suffers from pain in his knees.

According to investigators, the Crimean Tatar's guilt was his involvement in the activities of the Islamic political party Hizb ut-Tahrir. In Russia, the organization is banned, but in Ukraine and most countries of the world it operates without restrictions. Asanov was sentenced to 19 years in prison.
