Complaint filed with ECHR against wrongful sentence of Crimean Tatars

Last week, Arsen Dzhepparov was released from prison - figure in the case «Hizb ut-Tahrir». In 2016, he and five other Crimean Tatars were detained in Yalta. Lawyers of the center «Memorial» filed a complaint to the European Court of Justice in the case of Jepparov and another figure Inver Bekirov. 
The «memorial» recognized all six people as political prisoners. When the legal remedies available in Russia were exhausted, two of them were appealed to the ECHR. 

Crimean Tatars were accused of participating in the activities of an organization recognized as terrorist and preparing to overthrow the constitutional order by force. According to human rights activists, their guilt consisted only in participation in the Islamic party «Hizb ut-Tahrir», which is recognized in the Russian Federation as terrorist, but in the whole world acts absolutely legally.
