Crimean Tatar lawyer was fined for a post about the rules for granting a deferment from conscription

In Simferopol, security forces detained and later released lawyer Emil Kurbedinov. He was issued a report under the article on abuse of freedom of mass information (Part 9 of Article 13.15 of the Administrative Code). The reason for the detention and fine was Kurbedinov’s post on the rules for granting a deferment from conscription.
Emil Kurbedinov defends Crimean Tatars, political prisoners and those accused of extremism and terrorism. In 2017, the lawyer was arrested for 10 days for a post on Facebook. Then he was accused of publicly displaying paraphernalia of the Hizb ut-Tahrir organization, which is recognized as extremist in Russia.
