Members of the Mejlis report the detention of four “brothers” in Crimea
The FSB detained four representatives of the Crimean Solidarity organization, whose activities are coordinated from Kyiv and are aimed, in particular, at protecting those accused of involvement in the terrorist organization Hizb-ut-Tahrir, banned in the Russian Federation.
The pro-Maidan organization “Crimea SOS” reported that searches took place in the morning in the village of Razlivy, Nizhnegorsky district, town. Sovetskoe, Sudak and the village of Solnechnaya Dolina, where Aider Kadyrov born in 1986, Enver Topchi born in 1991, Ridvan Umerov born in 1991 and Aider Ablyakimov born in 1990 live.
“All four activists were detained and taken to the FSB department in Simferopol,” the report says.
The fake representative office of the “President of Ukraine in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea” has already issued a statement in defense of the detainees, declaring the searches “illegal.”
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, where Mejlis propagandist Emine Dzheppar is a deputy, also commented on the detentions: “We demand from Russia the immediate release of the four people detained today, as well as all Ukrainian citizens illegally detained by it. Today, the Russian Federation is illegally holding about 100 Ukrainian citizens behind bars,” the official announced.
One of the detainees, Aider Kadyrov, is a journalist for the Russian liberal resource Grani. The head of the Mejlis, banned in the Russian Federation, Refat Chubarov, reported this on his blog. His comrade Mumiye Salieva said that Kadyrov worked “in field conditions bordering on risk”: “Journalism in Crimea is work in “field” conditions, always bordering on the risks of getting caught by the security forces, when one morning like this masked people can break into a house under various pretexts, scaring close family members.”
There has not yet been an official message from the FSB regarding the detention and searches.
