Crimean Tatar political prisoner suffering from a number of diseases threatened with punishment cell

Journalist Amet Suleymanov, sentenced to 12 years, is not allowed to read namaz in the mornings and at night, threatening with a punishment cell for violating the daily routine of SIZO No. 2 in Simferopol. At the same time, every day the man is getting worse.

The Crimean Tatar experiences malaise and weakness, suffers from swelling of the legs, pain in the joints, severe shortness of breath and high blood pressure. Letters to Suleimanov are not handed over, answers are not sent to relatives.

Recall that in 2019, the Southern District Military Court, despite numerous statements from the defense about Suleymanov’s state of health, sentenced him to 12 years in a strict regime colony in the case of participation in the Islamic party Hizb ut-Tahrir, banned in the Russian Federation. His lawyer, Lilya Gemedzhi, considers the sentence to be death: “They sentenced him to die. Imprisonment for a person with such a diagnosis is cynicism.”
