The Crimean Tatar political prisoner complained of losing consciousness
Crimean Tatar activist Teymur Abdullaev, imprisoned in IK-2 in Bashkortostan, began to lose consciousness and caught a cold. This is due to being in the cold cells of the SHIZO, where he is regularly placed.
 
Earlier, Teymur Abdullaev complained of severe headaches, as well as eye pain. His mother demanded that the head of the colony's medical service examine her son. She says that she receives cynical answers from the administration of IK-2 along the lines of "as I die, I'll tell you."
 
In June 2019, the North Caucasus District Military Court in Rostov-on-Don sentenced brothers Teymur and Uzeir Abdullaev to 16.5 and 13 years in prison, respectively. Crimean Tatars were detained for their involvement in the activities of the Islamic party Hizb ut-Tahrir, which is banned in Russia. On the territory of many countries, it operates without restrictions at the level of national legislation. Before his detention, Teymur Abdullaev taught taekwondo in the sports section and raised five children.
