Arsen Abkhairov, a defendant in the Red Guard case of Hizb ut-Tahrir, was transferred from a prison in the Krasnoyarsk Territory to correctional colony No. 8 in Ulan-Ude. Previously, the man was sentenced to 13 years in prison.
Abhairov complains of toothache and lack of qualified medical care. In addition, after the transfer his varicose veins worsened. According to the prisoner, often one of the colony staff tries to bring him into religious or political conversations, but the Crimean Tatar stops them. He could face harsher punishment for talking about his beliefs.
In 2020, the Southern Military Court sentenced businessman Arsen Abhairov to 13 years in prison. He was accused of belonging to the Islamic party Hizb-ut-Tahrir, banned in Russia. In Ukraine and other countries of the world, the organization operates without restrictions at the level of national legislation.
