Crimean Tatar political prisoners Timur Yalkabov and Eldar Kantimirov were placed in Dimitrovgrad prison in Ulyanovsk region. This is reported by «Crimean solidarity».
Initially, their cell was searched three times in one week. Nothing illegal was found, but personal belongings were taken. Eldar Kantimirov believes that the guards are anti-Muslim. Whatever they do, the clock was taken from them.
In prison, Muslims are held 24 hours a day in a dark cell with artificial light. There’s no radio or television, so there’s no way to know what time it is. For Muslims this is a very important question, as the times of mandatory five times prayer are tied to the time», - said Kantimirov.
Eldar Kantimirov and Timur Yalkabov were sentenced to 12 and 17 years in prison. According to the case file, they had no weapons, had no plans to commit a terrorist act, and had not encouraged others to carry out terrorist activities. They were found guilty of participating in the Islamic party «Hizb ut-Tahrir». It is prohibited in Russia, but it operates freely in Europe and the world.
