Police officers conducted a search in the house of Crimean Tatar human rights activist and journalist Lutfiye Zudieva. She was then taken to the Ministry of Internal Affairs center and later released.
During the search, a video surveillance recorder, all phones, flash drives and a laptop were confiscated from Zudieva and her family. When lawyers Emil Kurbedinov and Edem Semedlyaev arrived at the human rights activist’s house, the security forces did not let them in.
Lutfiye Zudieva collaborates with the publications “Grati” and “Crimean Solidarity”.
Two reports were drawn up against the journalist under the article on abuse of freedom of the media (Article 13.15 of the Administrative Code). The first is due to a publication about the Hizb ut-Tahrir party without indicating that it is recognized as a terrorist organization in Russia, the second is due to a post about Radio Liberty without indicating that the publication was included in the register of “foreign agents.”
