Crimean political prisoner Riza Izetov was transferred to an unknown destination

Human rights activist and political prisoner Riza Izetov was transferred to an unknown destination from Yakutsk. All court cases have been suspended.

This was reported by the CTRC.

In this regard, the Krasnogvardeysky District Court suspended the reconsideration of the lawsuit filed by Izetov and his mother against the refusal of the Federal Penitentiary Service to transfer the political prisoner closer to home. Initially, the claim was dismissed, but the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation overturned this decision and returned the case for a new hearing.

Lawyer Nazim Sheikhmambetov does not know where exactly Riza Izetov was transferred. Until the Crimean Tatar is brought to a penitentiary institution, the court hearings in the case will not take place.

Currently, due to Izotov's absence, the hearings in his case have been postponed to September 1.

SUMMARY. Crimean Tatar human rights activist Riza Izetov, a father of many children, was sentenced by the occupation court to 19 years in prison in the fabricated Hizb ut-Tahrir case. He was detained on March 27, 2019, accused of "organizing the activities of a terrorist organization".

A Crimean political prisoner, Gennadiy Limeshko, who was supposed to be released in February this year after eight years in prison, went missing after being transferred from the Center for Temporary Detention of Foreigners in Rostov Region. For several months now, neither his wife nor human rights activists have any information about his whereabouts.

Oleksandr Sizikov, a blind Crimean political prisoner convicted on trumped-up charges, was released after eight months of imprisonment and a 5,000-kilometer transfer. He has already returned home to Crimea, spoke about the harsh conditions of detention and plans to appeal the persecution.
