"Buses and paddy wagons are actually blocking the road, we are just approaching", - was wrote by activists.

Ten minutes before Semedlyaev's actual release from detention, mass detentions began. That evening, 31 people were detained, ten of them women.

"I came to meet our lawyer last night. With balloons in a festive atmosphere. We arrived with the girls and, literally, in a couple of minutes we did not have time to go out and say goodbye to the sisters, the staff approached us, put us on a bus and took us to the department. And they left us there for the night before the trial. They left us without sleep at night, they took us to the cell only closer to the morning”, - one of the activists, Reikhane Kulametova said, about her detention.

She was detained along with her underage daughter, Mary. As a result, the 14-year-old girl was released on the condition of a receipt written by Reichane. And Reichane was left overnight in a temporary detention center. Only at 12 o'clock the next day, on November 24, food and water were brought to her cell, and in the evening the trial began.

Approximately the same conditions are described by all the women detained that night. Elmaz Abduramanov, Elvin Azizov, Fatima Yanikov and Naile Ibragimov also remained in the pre-trial detention center together with Reykhan.

Two of these women are the wives of the participants in the second Simferopol Hizb ut-Tahrir case. These are Naile Ibragimova, wife of Yashar Muedinov, and Fatima Yanikova. In the Fatima family, three members of the family were arrested at once: her brother, her husband's brother and her husband. This is not the first detention of women in courts or police and FSS units.

Earlier, the wife of Amet Suleimanov, a participant in the third Bakhchisarai Hizb ut-Tahrir case, Lilya Lumanova, was also detained in court. Then she thought:

"We are well aware that this is another lever of pressure, because they are warped and worried about all our solidarity, all our support. However, they think that they are appeasing us with such detentions, but they are deeply mistaken. We have, you know, how the backlash effect goes. On October 29, my husband was given 12 years of strict regime. And this will not stop me, I went to the courts to support my compatriots, and I will go. It's like a backlash. Moreover, when we faced it personally, it affected us all”, - Lilya says.

But this is the first mass case in which five women have been left in a temporary detention center in the occupied Crimea on similar charges. Commenting on the fact of women's detention, lawyer Edem Semedlyaev notes:

"The way the riot police do it is completely illegal. They did not resist, so it is not necessary to take them by the hand or force them. Compulsory driving can be carried out exclusively by a person of your sex and only in cases when it is necessary. During the detention, the women did not resist. I don't understand why it was done".

In total, ten women were detained in court on November 23. Half of them, mostly elderly women or minors, were released from the occupation police station, and half remained in detention centers. The next day, the occupying Kyiv District Court of Simferopol found everyone guilty under the article "Organization of mass simultaneous stay and (or) movement of citizens in public places that caused a violation of public order" under Article 20.2.2 of the Administrative Code.

All women were fined in the amount of 10 to 15 thousand rubles (3.5 - 5.5 thousand UAH). In total, the amount was 101 thousand rubles (37 thousand UAH) for ten.
