“The state of health of the Crimean Tatar Edem Bekirov and his cellmate Server Mustafaev who are now kept in Simferopol prison, became much worse due to an allergic reaction through the fungus in the cell. The Ukrainian ombudsman Lyudmyla Denisova published that on Facebook.

According to Denisova, today, on February, 6, the lawyer could visit the political prisoner. The Russian 'ombudswoman of Crimea' Ludmyla Lubina, the head of the Simferopol prison Serhiy Berezhnyi and the head of the hospital in Simferopol prison Oleksiy Ivashchenko were also present.

As we reported earlier, the health situation of Crimean Tatar political prisoner Bekirov is critical.

The Russian side conceals the real state of the Ukrainian political prisoner. Chairman of Mejlis of Crimean Tatars Refat Chubarov stated Bekirov was arrested during passport control on the territory controlled by the Russian law enforcers. Later, Chubarov noted that the detainee was taken to Russia’s Security Service office in annexed Simferopol.
