In Russia, the Krasnoyarsk court ruled to return Crimean Muslim and political prisoner <b>Oleksandr Sizikov</b> to prison . He was recently released from prison for health reasons.

Let us recall that Sizikov was released from prison by the Minusinsk City Court of the Krasnoyarsk Territory of the Russian Federation on May 26, 2025, due to illness. A medical examination diagnosed him with a complete loss of vision. This disease is included in the official list of diseases that impede the serving of a sentence.

On May 28, after his release, the blind man was met at the Sochi airport by his lawyer Edem Semedlyayev and his mother. Oleksandr Sizikov is a defendant in the so-called "fourth Bakhchisarai case of Hizb ut-Tahrir". He was born in Simferopol, but later moved to Bakhchisaray district.

In 2009, Sizikov became a first-group disabled person after he was hit by a car while riding a bicycle, which caused him to lose his sight completely. His fellow villagers and Imam Edem Smailov helped him in everyday life.
