In Crimea, riot police stopped a rally of extremist sympathizers
Security forces detained in Crimea supporters of previously convicted members of the extremist group Hizb-ut-Tahrir, who staged an unauthorized rally near the building of the Crimean Garrison Military Court in Simferopol.
The Ukrainian organization Crimean Solidarity, which sympathizes with extremists, reports this in its blog, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The reason for the action was the meeting taking place today in Simferopol via videoconference with the Military Court of Appeal in Vlasikha on the case of members of the so-called “Red Guard Group” of extremists, detained in February 2019 year.
Previously, the Southern District Military Court sentenced the defendants – Rustem Emiruseinov to 17 years in prison, Eskender Abdulganiev to 12 years and Arsen Abkhairov to 13 years. The police warned the gathered supporters of the detainees about their violation of anti-Covid standards, and then detained them and took them to the Central Police Department.
“All of them are accused of belonging to the political Islamic party Hizb-ut-Tahrir, banned in Russia, which was included in the list of terrorists by the decision of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation in 2003,” the Crimean Solidarity report says.
