On 2 August, at seven in the morning, an illegal search took place in the house of journalist Kulamet Ibraimov’s family. He told Crimean Solidarity about it. Yesterday, Ibraimov was released from a special reception centre, where he had been serving a five-day “administrative arrest”. Ibraimov is registered in his mother’s house, but since his marriage he has been living separately. During the illegal search, he was at a different address.  

The journalist noted that early in the morning, 10 people broke into his parents’ house. All of them were masked, armed, and without identifying marks. They read the search warrant, but did not leave any papers for the family.

The operatives took away the phones of the journalist’s brothers and his mother, Nefize Ibraimova. “She was very frightened and still can’t come to her senses,” – Kulamet Ibraimov noted.

The search lasted about an hour, but during this time, the occupation forces inspected the entire house.

As a reminder, on 27 July, 14 Crimean Tatars were detained near the building of the occupation “Supreme Court” of Crimea, who came to the appeal hearing in the falsified case of the First Deputy Chairman of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people Nariman Dzhelal and brothers Asan and Aziz Akhtemov. Among them are journalists Kulamet Ibraimov and Lutfiye Zudiyeva. “Administrative reports” were drawn up against five of the 14 detainees. Ibraimov is the only one who was sentenced to administrative detention. The rest were fined by the ‘court’.
