Crimean Tatar journalist was put in a special unit of the SIZO and took medicine

Civil journalist «Crimean Solidarity» Amet Suleymanov is detained in the special unit of Simferopol SIZOs-1, having selected the medicines he needs.

The Crimean Tatar suffers from chronic rheumatic heart disease. He needs an injection every three weeks. However, Amet’s drug and syringes were confiscated upon admission. According to his wife, the man’s health was affected by a two-week quarantine in the SIZO.

In October 2021, the Southern District Military Court sentenced Suleimanov to 12 years in a maximum-security colony. According to the investigation, he was preparing a «violent seizure of power by means of total Islamization of the population». The prosecution relied on two audio files of wiretaps at a mosque in Bakhchisarai and two classified witnesses. No weapons, ammunition or direct evidence of planning to seize power or prepare terrorist attacks was found on the person involved.
