In the village of Hlybokyi Yar, Bakhchisaray district of the temporarily occupied Crimea, Russian security forces searched the house of 42-year-old Nariman Seitaliev. Upon completion of the investigation, the Crimean Tatar was detained and taken to an unknown destination without informing his relatives of his whereabouts.

This was reported by Seitaliev's relatives to Crimean Solidarity.

It is known that Nariman Seitaliev and his wife have five children. Currently, human rights activists and relatives are trying to find out where exactly the man is being held and what charges they are trying to bring against him.

Nariman Seitaliyev's wife told the details of the night search, which began around four o'clock in the morning. According to her, the security forces immediately threw her husband to the floor and handcuffed him, after which about ten people began a thorough inspection of the house, checking even the children's belongings.

Although nothing illegal was found for a long time, at the end of the search, the officers claimed to have found 'banned books' that the family claimed the security forces had brought with them. During the investigation, the family was forbidden to contact a lawyer. The occupants seized documents and a cell phone, and the five children, who were in a state of severe stress, were given only 15 minutes to say goodbye to their father.

Currently, Nariman Seitaliev has been taken to an unknown destination, leaving his large family without any information about his condition and whereabouts.

Earlier, Saha Mangubi, a resident of Crimea, was abducted in Crimea back in 2024. After 15 months of excuses and vague answers from the occupation police, the woman was officially accused of 'treason'.

The story of the woman's disappearance began on November 2, 2024. Sahu was taken away from her home by persons in camouflage, and since then, communication has been completely interrupted. The relatives tried to act in the legal field, but this did not help the case move forward. In particular, the Russians refused to open a case on the fact of kidnapping. The security forces advised the family to 'appeal' directly to the FSB, which at the same time denied any involvement in the detention and concealed the woman's whereabouts.
