Crimean Tatar political prisoner regularly placed in strict conditions of detention

Since April 26, Crimean Tatar political prisoner Server Zekiryaev has been in a cell-type room with a stricter regime of detention in IK No. 1 in the city of Donskoy, Tula Region. This punishment was appointed to him for a period of three months with a refusal to visit. He is also forbidden to receive food from his relatives.

During his stay in the colony, the father of many children was brought to disciplinary sanctions several times. Zekiryaev was placed in the SUS (isolated cell with strict conditions of detention), ShIZO (penalty cell) and PKT (cell-type room). The lawyer believes that this is due to the new head of the colony. The Crimean Tatar himself does not know the reasons.

Before his arrest, Zekiryaev worked as a physical education teacher and was engaged in floriculture. In Bakhchisarai, 13 children are waiting for him. In 2020, in the Southern District Military Court in Rostov-on-Don, a man was sentenced to 13 years, accused of participating in the Islamic party Hizb ut-Tahrir, banned in the Russian Federation. According to the case file, the defendant did not possess a weapon, did not plan to commit a terrorist act, and did not call on others to carry out terrorist acts.
