Якось у потязі я уявила себе на місці жінки, яка проводить у дорозі десятки годин, аби дістатися з Криму до вʼязниці у віддаленому регіоні РФ на побачення до рідної людини: чоловіка або сина — політвʼязня.

Саме про це новий епізод кримського подкасту від @Graty_me Засуджених кримчан часто етапують до російських колоній за тисячі кілометрів від дому. Адвокат кримських вʼязнів Еміль Курбедінов називає це цілеспрямованою політикою роз’єднання сімей.

Russian court jailed Crimean imam for 17 years for one audio recording of a conversation about Islam.

In the Southern District Military Court, a guilty verdict was passed against 42-year-old Raif Fevziev, an imam from the Simferopol village of Strogonovka. “Killers are not given such terms. For a 70-minute conversation about Islam today, a person was given 17 years,” lawyer Edem Semedlyaev commented on the verdict.

The court sentenced 62-year-old Servet Gaziev and 60-year-old Dzhemil Gafarov to 13 years in a strict regime colony. “Crimean Solidarity” activists Alim Karimov, Erfan Osmanov and Seyran Murtaza received the same terms. Servet Gaziev, before his arrest, worked as a cook and helped the families of political prisoners. He suffered a microstroke in a pre-trial detention center, according to relatives, he has severely impaired diction, a part of his face is twisted, and problems with pressure.

A few hours ago, the Southern District Military Court in Rostov-on-Don sentenced another Crimean Tatar activist - Marlen Mustafatev to 17 years in prison. This is an ordinary car mechanic from Crimea.

In some villages of the compact residence of the Crimean Tatars, the so-called "women's streets" appeared.The Russian special services detained the men in these houses after searches. Read the story of Fatma Ismailova, from whom the FSB took away her husband, father, and brother. Several months ago, she opened a small flower shop in the Kamenka district near Simferopol.
But this is not the only thing a woman does. In her free time out of the shop, Fatma takes on pastry orders, she bakes and decorates cakes on her own.

As you already know, Crimean Tatars are a Muslim ethnic minority indigenous to the Crimean Peninsula.
Our people became a minority in own homeland, as a result of xenophobia and genocide after the annexation of Crimea by Russia in 1783 and the deportation in 1944. 2014 brought the Crimean Tatars back to the times of Tsar and Soviet Russia.
Searches in the houses and mosques, intimidation, administrative fines, arrests of activists and attacks on public figures who disagree with the events of 2014 - all this has become commonplace in Crimea
