In Crimea, searches were conducted at the parents of the Crimean Tatar journalist who left the country

In the Crimean village of Zemlyanichnoye (Ortalan), searches were conducted in four houses of Crimean Tatars. They were conducted under the pretext of searching for weapons and banned books.

One of the searches took place in the house of the parents of journalist Gulsum Khalilova, who left Crimea in 2015. Later, a criminal case was opened against her in Russia for participating in an illegal armed group. She denied these charges.

Gulsum Khalilova said that her 74-year-old father has hypertension and is in critical condition. During the search, he was able to get out of bed. At the same time, an ambulance came to him three times. As a result, Gulsum's father was taken to the hospital with a suspected stroke.

"My dad is 74. My mom is an ordinary woman who just wants peace in her home. They drew up a report saying “nothing was found” and left. And we were left with the consequences,” Khalilova shared.

During the search, all electronic devices, including phones, were confiscated from the elderly couple.
