Occupants in Crimea leave political prisoners without medical care

At least 40 political prisoners in Crimea need immediate medical care.

This was reported by the Commissioner for the Rights of the Residents of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol Elvin Kadyrov during the panel discussion "Crimea and the Formula for Peace: Humanitarian Aspect" held within the framework of the Fourth Summit of the Crimean Platform.

He drew special attention to the health of political prisoners Tofik Abdulgaziyev (he lost 40 kg in a Russian prison, and an independent medical commission confirmed that his illness was incompatible with life), Amet Suleymanov and Irina Danilovich.

According to the Ombudsman, "these people are counting not the term of their illegal imprisonment, but the term of their lives" because political prisoners are not provided with medical care and are deprived of the right to dignity and human treatment."

During the summit of the Crimean Platform, it was noted that a total of 219 illegally convicted Ukrainian citizens are being held in the occupied Crimea. 133 of them are representatives of the Crimean Tatar people.

The occupiers bring falsified charges for holding rallies, refusing to be mobilized into the Russian army, opposing the "SVO" and other far-fetched pretexts. For example, in the temporarily occupied Crimea, Russian security forces again tried to hand out "warnings about the inadmissibility of violating the law" to Crimean Tatar activists before the last so-called elections. By these massive rounds of Crimean Tatar activists' homes and handing them "warnings" on the eve of the elections, Russian security forces tried to intimidate Crimean Tatars who categorically opposed another lawlessness of the Russian occupation authorities.

Earlier, it was reported that 47 political prisoners in Crimea had restrictions or probation as of the end of August.
