Crimean Tatar political prisoner faces death due to a number of diseases
Ament Suleimanov, a civilian journalist from Crimea sentenced to 12 years of age, was taken into custody after house arrest. Because of many diseases, the presence of the Crimean Tatar in the colony threatens him with death.
We consider this sentence to be fatal, as Amet’s state of health and conditions in these institutions are incompatible. He has many problems: heart, lung, stomach, the destruction of articular cartilage», - said the wife of a political prisoner. Lil Gemeji, a journalist’s advocate, had previously expressed the same opinion: He was sentenced to die. Imprisonment in prison for a person with such a diagnosis is cynicism».
In February, the UN Committee against Torture called for Suleimanov’s sentence to be avoided. He was sentenced to 12 years' imprisonment on the grounds of involvement in a terrorist organization and preparation for the forcible seizure of power. Suleimanov’s wines were involved in participation in the Islamic party «Hizb ut-Tahrir», which was banned in Russia, but allowed in the countries of the world and Europe.
