Crimean Tatar political prisoner placed in ShIZO again

Employees of the colony in Tambov again put the Crimean Tatar human rights activist Server Mustafaev in a punishment cell. He can't contact his relatives.

According to lawyer Lilya Gemedzhi, last time in the ShIZO her client was not allowed to drink. The guards also confiscated books from him, in particular, the Koran. The lawyer sent complaints to the prosecutor's office of the Tambov region and the regional Federal Penitentiary Service.

Server Mustafayev is the coordinator of the Crimean Solidarity public association, which provides legal, informational, and social assistance to the families of political prisoners in Crimea. In 2020, the Southern District Military Court sentenced him to 14 years in prison on charges of participating in the Islamic party Hizb ut-Tahrir. It is banned in the Russian Federation, but freely operates in Ukraine and other countries of the world and Europe.
