~Russia illegally detains 25,000 Kremlin prisoners

According to the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights, Dmytro Lubinets, this is the number of civilians abducted by the Russian Federation.

The ZMINA Human Rights Centre has found that at least 21 prisoners require urgent medical care and may die unless they receive it. 

During the full-scale invasion, the National Police began investigating the enforced disappearance of 8,800 people. Russian Children's Ombudsman Maria Lvova-Belova claims Russia has illegally abducted over 700,000 children from Ukraine.

The Media Initiative for Human Rights has identified about one hundred places where abducted civilians are held.

The Mission of the President of Ukraine in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea (Qırım) confirms 186 illegally imprisoned Ukrainian citizens, 60% of whom are Qırımtatarlar.

During the full-scale war, 2,576 Ukrainian citizens were returned to Ukraine, including 144 civilians.

Russians have transferred Crimean Tatar Marlen Mustafaiev from the Novocherkassk detention centre to the Ulyanovsk region of the Russian Federation.

Crimean Solidarity reports.

Marlen Mustafaiev is a car mechanic from Bilohirsk (Qarasuvbazar). After the illegal annexation of the peninsula, the man became a civil activist. He visited courts, supported the families of Kremlin prisoners, and the like. 

On February 9, 2022, Russian security forces detained Mustafaiev during regular searches in the homes of Crimean Tatars. At the same time, Ansar Osmanov, Ametkhan Abdulvapov and Ernest Seitosmanov were also arrested. They were accused of involvement in the Hizb ut-Tahrir organisation.

The investigation named Mustafaiev as the alleged organiser of the Bilohirsk Group, even though his alleged accomplices were convicted in 2020 and detained even earlier.

During the detention, no explosives, weapons or other evidence of organising a possible terrorist attack was found in the possession of the suspects. 

On November 30, 2022, the Southern District Military Court found Crimean Tatar Marlen Mustafaiev guilty of organising the activities of the Islamic political party Hizb ut-Tahrir in Bilohirsk.

The man was sentenced to 17 years in a strict regime colony with three years in prison and restrictions on freedom of movement for a year and a half after release.

Kremlin prisoner Vladlen Abdulkadyrov receives no medical care in the Russian prison in Yelets. 

This was reported by the prisoner's wife, Hulzar Abdulkadyrov, Crimean Solidarity reports.

In her words, her husband developed pain in the lumbar region and numbness in his right leg. The prisoner was prescribed injections, which caused side effects. 

"He developed a severe headache and tachycardia, so he refused the last injections. He reported his condition to the medical unit, but they didn't tell him anything relevant," his wife said.

Abdulkadyrov has a referral for a consultation with a neurologist, but no one has seen him in four months. 

Vladlen Abdulkadyrov was detained in 2019 during mass searches of Crimean Tatars in the temporarily occupied Kamianka, Strohanivka and Bile. 

In 2022, the man was sentenced to 12 years in a penal colony for alleged involvement in Hizb ut-Tahrir. 

The organisation is recognised as an alleged terrorist organisation in Russia but operates unhindered in Ukraine and other European countries.

A Russian court in Crimea has sentenced Dmytro Kozlia for allegedly discrediting the Russian army repeatedly. 

This is evidenced by the case file published on the court's website, OVD-News reports.

It will be recalled that Kozlia was an entrepreneur working in Crimea since at least 2006. He did not leave the peninsula after the start of the temporary occupation.

In May 2023, Russian security forces accused him of "discrediting" and fined him for allegedly posting comments on Facebook. At the end of July 2023, the security forces accused him of the same thing again. He faces five years in prison for "repeated discrediting".

A so-called court in the temporarily occupied Donetsk region has illegally convicted Ukrainian military personnel. 

This was reported by the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation. 

These are Vladyslav Striukov, Illia Halchukov, Artem Bruchkovskyi, Vladyslav Serhiichuk, Serhii Knyzhnyk, Serhii Kryvtsun and Oleksandr Matushanskyi.

The military are likely to be members of the 36th Separate Marine Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The men held positions at the Azovmash plant in temporarily occupied Mariupol. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they all went missing in March-April 2022.

It will be recalled that a Russian court convicted Ukrainian servicemen Leonid Onupko, Vladyslav Ovcharenko, Roman Makusei, Vadym Semchuk, Denys Mirza and Andrii Skorin.

The management of the Russian colony in the Kemerovo region in Russia does not provide prisoner Ivan Yatskin with medicines.

This was reported by his wife, Hulnara Kadyrova, in a comment to Krym. Realii.

Yatskin suffers trophic ulcers after frostbite on his feet in the Russian prison in Lefortovo.

His wife reported that the Russians do not hand over the medicines given to Yatskin personally by his relatives. His complaints about this remain unanswered.

In addition, the Kremlin prisoner has not been allowed to make phone calls and has had limited correspondence with his family for over a month.

According to Yatskin's lawyer, the man undergoes harassment.

"The colony spread information that Ivan Yatskin is Jewish by nationality, and against the backdrop of the military conflict in the Gaza Strip, Muslim prisoners are treating him with hostility because of this," Hulnara Kadyrova said.

It will be recalled that in 2019, Russians illegally detained Ukrainian citizen Ivan Yatskin in the temporarily occupied Crimea (Qirim) and took him to Moscow. In 2021, the occupation court delivered a "verdict" in the case of "high treason" — 11 years in prison.
