Searches in the house of a Crimean Tatar human rights activist were carried out with violations

The search of citizen journalist Lutfiye Zudieva that took place the day before took place without the presence of a lawyer and with violations of the law. This was reported by the telegram channel “Tribunal. Crimean episode."

In particular, the search of things took place without complying with the requirements that these actions be carried out by a person of the same sex as the person being searched. Taking into account the religious traditions of the Crimean Tatars, these actions are not only a violation of the procedure, but also degrading treatment.

We would like to remind you that during the search, employees of the Center for Emergency Control of the Ministry of Internal Affairs seized a video surveillance recorder, all phones, flash drives and a laptop of Zudiyeva and her family. Security forces did not allow lawyers Emil Kurbedinov and Edem Semedlyaev to arrive in the house.

Two protocols were drawn up against Lutfiya Zudieva under the article on abuse of freedom of mass information. The first is because of a publication about the Hizb ut-Tahrir party without indicating that it is recognized as a terrorist organization in Russia, the second is because of a post about Radio Liberty without indicating that the publication was included in the register of “foreign agents.”
