Extremist Dzhemilev granted amnesty in Crimea
The City Court of Armyansk passed a verdict in the case of the fugitive leader of the Crimean Tatar Majlis, banned in Russia for extremism, Mustafa Dzhemilev.
He was found guilty on three counts, given a 2-year suspended sentence, but was immediately released from liability under an amnesty, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Several criminal cases were initiated against Dzhemilev. Two of them concern not the head of the Majlis himself, but his son Hayser, who in May 2013 shot one of the workers with his father’s carbine in his own house in Bakhchisaray. Dzhemilev Sr. insisted on the insanity of his son, who, apparently, was in a state of drug intoxication, and demanded that foreign doctors be brought in to examine the state of his son’s health. In this case, it is not clear why the father did not limit the patient’s access to firearms and why he kept live ammunition, which is prohibited in civilian use, at home.
The third criminal case was opened after Dzhemilev staged a demonstrative demarche on the Russian-Ukrainian border at the Armyansk checkpoint. The day before, he was not allowed into the Sheremetyevo airport, where border control officers denied him entry into the country.
Then Dzhemilev, accompanied by a group of people, crossed the border on foot near Armyansk, but he was also sent back to the territory of Ukraine.
Let us add that in January 2016, a Simferopol court arrested Dzhemilev in absentia. Criminal cases have been initiated against the Ukrainian people's deputy under three articles at once, among which is aiding and abetting terrorism.
