The desire to go to a court session in the Supreme Court of Crimea on an appeal against the sentence of political prisoners of the Crimean Tatars turned into fines and arrests for their relatives.

Thus, Kulamet Ibraimov, a correspondent of the Grani and Crimean Solidarity publications, was charged with five days of imprisonment. Journalist Lutfiye Zudieva was fined 12,000 rubles, as was Zarema Akhtemov, the mother of Aziz Akhtemov, a defendant in the sabotage case. The brother of Nariman Dzhelyalov, Ruslan Dzhelyalov, and another detainee, Rustem Useinov, were fined 15,000 rubles. All were found guilty under the article on organizing a one-time mass stay of citizens (part 1 of article 20.2.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses).

The day before, the Supreme Court of Crimea held an appeal hearing in the case of sabotage on the gas pipeline. Despite the openness of the process, neither relatives of the defendants nor journalists were allowed to enter the court. All of them wrote complaints about the inadmissibility addressed to the Chairman of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Crimea.

Former deputy head of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people Nariman Dzhelal and the brothers Asan and Aziz Akhtemov are involved in the case of sabotage on the gas pipeline. In September 2022, they were found guilty of sabotage on a gas pipeline in the village of Perevalnoye. Dzhelal was sentenced to 17 years in prison, while Asan and Aziz Akhtemov were sentenced to 15 and 13 years.
