Direct speech: “He was returned to the colony from the hospital very early. After the operation, he had to be under the supervision of doctors for at least 10-14 days. In the colony, he was given several injections of ascorbic acid and sutures were removed.”

Details: The diagnosis of the Crimean human rights defender requires adherence to a diet, but nothing is provided for this in the Russian colony. The man was not given any information about the operation itself, as well as medical recommendations.

In fact, he was left alone in the colony with postoperative problems, his wife said. So he was forced to ask his family to search the Internet for information about his illness and recommendations.

What preceded : On June 21, Emir-Usein Kuku was taken from the Russian colony in Salavat to the hospital with an attack of kidney pain. In the process of diagnosis, it became clear that the important functions of the intestine were disturbed.

On June 23, the Crimean Tatar human rights defender underwent emergency surgery. Later, according to his wife, he was discharged from the city hospital in Salavat and transferred to the hospital in Ufa in satisfactory condition.

For reference : Emir-Usein Kuku is a Crimean Tatar human rights defender and activist. He, like other Crimeans: Vadym Siruk, Muslim Aliyev, Enver Bekirov, Refat Alimov and Arsen Dzhepparov, is involved in the so-called Hizb ut-Tahrir case in Yalta. The first four defendants in this case were arrested on February 11, 2016. Among them is Emir-Usein Kuku, a member of the Contact Group on Human Rights.

On November 12, 2019, the Southern District Military Court in Rostov-on-Don announced the verdicts of six people involved in the case. Muslim Aliyev was sentenced to 19 years of imprisonment in a high-security prison, Inver Bekirov was sentenced to 18 years, Emir-Usein Kuku – 12 years, Vadym Siruk – 12 years, Arsen Dzhepparov – seven years and Refat Alimov – eight years.

On June 25, 2020, the Military Court of Appeal of the city of Vlasikh, Moscow Region (Russia) upheld the verdict.
