The Belogorsk Magistrate's Court decided to fine human rights activist Abdureshit Dzhepparov 40 thousand rubles for “abuse of freedom of mass information” and “disagreement with the actions of the RF Armed Forces.”

According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs Center for Specialized Enforcement, Dzhepparov administered the Facebook page of the social movement “Qirim Gayesi” (“Crimean Idea”) and disseminated “deliberately unreliable socially significant information under the guise of reliable messages.” In addition, the Crimean Tatar human rights activist allegedly “expressed his disagreement with the actions of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation to conduct a special military operation on the territory of Ukraine.”

Previously, Dzhepparov was also fined 45 thousand rubles for “discrediting the use of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. In addition, his home was searched, but no charges were brought against him.

Then the Crimean Tatar spent 12 days in a special detention center. According to the CPE, during the search the human rights activist did not give up his laptop and “resisted the legal demands of the police officers.”
