A Crimean Tatar student arrested in the Hizb ut-Tahrir case lost consciousness in a pretrial detention center.

Arrested Crimean Tatar student Nasiba Saidova required medical attention in Pretrial Detention Center No. 1 in Simferopol after losing consciousness.

Since her arrest in October 2025, Saidova and other defendants in the criminal case reported rights violations, including being held in an unheated cell without hot water. Saidova's parents appealed to the Public Monitoring Commission and the Crimean Ombudsman to investigate the circumstances of her persecution and detention conditions, but have not yet received a response.

On October 15, 2025, four Crimean Tatar women were detained in the Sevastopol and Bakhchisaray districts: 40-year-old Esma Nimetulayeva, 20-year-old Elviza Aliyeva, 19-year-old Nasiba Saidova, and 21-year-old Fevziye Osmanova. They were accused of involvement in the Islamic political party Hizb ut-Tahrir. It is designated a terrorist organization in Russia but operates legally in most countries. During the searches, security forces found banned books. The women's relatives claim the literature was planted.
