Crimean Tatar citizen of Ukraine has had her arrest extended
Ukrainian citizen, Crimean Tatar Lenia Umerova, who is being prosecuted in a case of espionage, has had her arrest extended in Moscow for three months.
Recall that in December 2022, the girl tried to travel from Kyiv to Crimea to see her sick father. Given the political situation, she traveled in transit through a number of European countries. Upon entering the Russian Federation, she had to go through a checkpoint in North Ossetia. After crossing the border with Russia, she was detained, a protocol was drawn up for violating the rules for crossing the border, and sent to the Temporary Detention Center for Foreigners in Vladikavkaz.
In March 2023, the court ruled that Umerova did not pose a danger to Russia, she was released, but almost immediately detained again and a protocol was drawn up for disobeying police officers. The girl was arrested three times for 15 days, and then accused of espionage without giving reasons or details. Later, the media reported that the girl was collecting data on Russian military facilities and equipment of the Vostok group.
