UPD: Ruslan Lyumanov has now returned home. The man said that he was stopped in the middle of the road and abducted by the occupation patrol service, who held him for a day and a half near Franko Boulevard in occupied Simferopol.

Crimean Tatar activist Ruslan Lyumanov has disappeared in occupied Crimea – nothing has been known about his whereabouts for a day. His wife Evelina Lyumanova reported the disappearance of her husband, and lawyers have already started searching for him.

The activist had left home and planned to take his son’s textbooks to school, visit Krymenergo to check the meters, and then return home and go shopping with Ms. Evelina. However, he was neither at school nor at the energy company. The wife also received an uncharacteristic message from the missing man saying that she did not have to wait for him today and that he was fine. The last time her husband was seen leaving the village of Strohonivka in the Simferopol district of Crimea, he did not get in touch after that.

Ruslan Lyumanov is a public figure, actively helps families of political prisoners, and together with his wife he is raising 5 children. In December 2018, together with the First Deputy Chairman of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people Nariman Dzhelal and other volunteers, he came from the occupied Crimea to Moscow to deliver money, clothes and food to the Ukrainian Navy sailors, collected on the peninsula.

The last geolocation of Ruslan Lyumanov’s phone was recorded on the bypass road of Simferopol. All the circumstances point to the FSB’s “style” and the activist’s enforced disappearance! On the same day in 2016, the occupiers abducted Erwin Ibragimov, a member of the Executive Committee of the World Congress of Crimean Tatars, whose fate is still unknown.
