A Crimean Tatar political prisoner was put under surveillance in prison as prone to extremism and attack

After being transferred to a prison in the Chelyabinsk region, activist Ruslan Suleymanov was placed on preventive registration for “adherence to extremist ideology, a tendency to escape and attack.” He was also warned twice for sitting on the bed.

Previously, in the pre-trial detention center, Suleymanov repeatedly turned to doctors for help due to congenital heart disease and tachycardia. The doctor came to him only once and suggested motherwort and glycine. The political prisoner refused both drugs.

In 2022, Ruslan Suleymanov was sentenced to 14 years on charges of participation in the Islamic party Hizb ut-Tahrir, banned in the Russian Federation. Since January 2015, when Crimea actually came under the control of Russia, criminal cases began to be initiated en masse on the peninsula for participation in Hizb ut-Tahrir. In Ukraine and European countries, the party’s activities are not prohibited.
