Crimean Tatar citizen of Ukraine was kept in the Lefortovo pre-trial detention center for two months

The defense of 25-year-old Crimean Tatar Lenya Umerova, a Ukrainian citizen who was detained by Russian security forces on suspicion of espionage, will once again file an appeal to extend her detention. Earlier, the Lefortovo Court in Moscow extended the girl's arrest for four months, until October 4.

Recall that Umerova was detained in December last year at the Russian-Georgian border. She tried to get to the Crimea to her father, who was suffering from cancer. An administrative protocol was drawn up against a Crimean Tatar woman for “violating the rules for crossing the state border” and sent to the Center for the Detention of Foreign Citizens. Unknown people put a bag over her head and took her to an unfamiliar district of Vladikavkaz. Again, a protocol was drawn up against the girl, but this time about disobedience to the police, and she was sent to a temporary detention facility. Then Lenia Umerova was taken to Moscow and arrested.

Umerova was accused of espionage (Article 276 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). She has been in the Lefortovo pre-trial detention center for two months now.
