Crimean Tatar Rustem Osmanov, sentenced by a Russian court to 6 years in prison, is being tortured in a Russian colony.😡

This was reported by Ukrainian Ombudsman Dmitry Lubinets.

According to him, for the last three weeks the Crimean citizen has been kept in a punishment cell. They commit unlawful acts against the man: they brutally beat him and threaten him with murder.

“Silence in response to such cases now is provoking the aggressor’s appetite for committing new crimes! In particular, the continuation of the tactics of suppressing the spirit of illegally imprisoned civilians and prisoners of war,” Lubinets noted.

Osmanov was detained in April 2022 “while trying to enter Crimea through the Armyansk automobile checkpoint.”

In August, the Russian-controlled Belogorsky District Court of Crimea sentenced Osmanov to 6 years in prison on charges of participating in the “Crimean Tatar volunteer battalion named after Noman Chelebidzhikhan.” Now, according to human rights activists, Osmanov is in a colony in the city of Donskoy in the Tula region of the Russian Federation.
