Lawyers said that a political refugee from Uzbekistan killed in Crimea was tortured before his death

Lawyer Lilya Gemeji said that on the morning of May 11, security officials arrived at the house in which Rakhimov lived, they cordoned off him, after the neighbors heard clapping, no one else was allowed to approach this place. Later, cars of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation and the salon of funeral services arrived at the building.

According to her, Rakhimov’s body is not given to his relatives.

“It is in the morgue, a lawyer is writing applications to be issued. The only thing we can observe is pictures. If you make a storyboard of a video that posted FSB, there are very interesting events: a hand with severed fingers and a pistol are shown. It is clear that if a person holds a pistol in his hand, his fingers will not be torn off. And everything in the house is upside down. It was some kind of covering up the tracks, “the newspaper notes.

Kurbedinov stated that Russia, by the decision of the European Court of Human Rights, first granted Rakhimov political asylum, and then killed him.

“We are now conducting a lawyer investigation, trying to find out the circumstances of the incident,” he assured.

Rakhimov in 2013 applied to the ECHR with a claim against the Russian Federation, the court ruled to pay him compensation in the amount of € 17 thousand. About this on May 12 “Ukrinform” reported in the Crimean Human Rights Group.

Rakhimov died during a search on May 11 in the Russian-occupied Crimea. The search was carried out in the unfinished house by the FSB officers, accompanied by the soldiers of the special forces “Alpha”. They took the house by storm.

Context:

Crimea was occupied by Russia in the spring of 2014 after illegal referendum… The accession of the peninsula to the Russian Federation is not recognized by Ukraine and most countries of the world. At the moment, there is a checkpoint regime between mainland Ukraine and Crimea, and Kiev de facto does not control the peninsula.

After the occupation of Crimea, according to human rights activists, the human rights situation on the peninsula has deteriorated significantly… Under various pretexts, including the fight against extremism, the occupation authorities persecute people who dare to openly criticize Russia’s actions on the peninsula, especially the Crimean Tatars, human rights activists from Human Rights Watch said.
