Five criminals, defendants in the "third Dzhankoy group" in the Hizb ut-Tahrir case, will remain in jail until January 13 by the decision of the Russian court.
This was reported by Krym.Realii.
The preventive measure was extended by the Southern District Military Court of the Russian Federation. The court did not satisfy the defense's request to change the measure of restraint for Enver Khalilayev, who has health problems and needs surgery.
The case was initiated on March 5, 2024, after massive searches of Crimean Tatars. Then activists Memet Lyumanov, Aziz Azizov, Rustem Osmanov and Mustafa Abduramanov from Bakhchisarai, as well as residents of Dzhankoy district, were taken into custody: Ali Mamutov, Enver Khalilayev, Nariman Ametov, Vokhid Mustafayev and Arsen Kashka.
58-year-old Nariman Derman, a Crimean political prisoner and a defendant in the so-called "Noman Chelebidzhikhan case", was deprived of his citizenship by the Russian authorities. Despite his serious health condition and second-group disability due to epilepsy, the man has been in custody for more than a year and a half.
In June 2025, Derman was officially informed in prison that he had been deprived of his Russian passport, which he received in May 2023 as a result of forced passportization after the occupation of Kherson region.
Nariman Derman is a citizen of Ukraine, a Crimean Tatar, a resident of the village of Novooleksiivka in the Kherson region. On February 7, 2024, FSB officers came to his house and, despite his wife's statements about her husband's serious illness, forcibly took him to an unknown destination. The next day it became known that a criminal case had been opened against him.
On February 8, the occupation court in Genichesk imposed a pre-trial restraint in the form of detention. In October 2024, Derman was sentenced to 3.5 years in a strict regime colony for allegedly participating in an allegedly illegal armed group. After the sentence, he was transferred to Verkhnyouralsk in the Chelyabinsk region, where his health deteriorated sharply.
