Crimean Tatar lawyer fined and arrested in two administrative cases

Rustem Kyamilev, a lawyer for the Crimean Tatar legal movement "Crimean Solidarity", was fined 50 thousand rubles under the article on discrediting the Russian army. He was charged with reposting a publication by politician Grigory Yavlinsky about the events in Syria and Ukraine, which was made back in 2017.

In addition, Kyamilev was arrested for 10 days under the article on demonstrating prohibited symbols. This is due to the repost of a photograph of a Ukrainian activist holding a trident in his hand. The day before, security forces conducted a search in the house of Kyamilev and his wife, lawyer Lili Gemedzhi.

"Crimean Solidarity" is engaged in the defense of Crimean Tatar activists who have become defendants in political criminal and administrative cases. Lawyers provide legal support to Crimean Tatars.
