A regular court hearing in the "Mustafa Dzhemilev case" will take place in the occupying Armenian City Court in Crimea on February 1.

This was announced by the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights Lyudmila Denisova in the Telegram.

She noted that the occupying authorities had arranged an illegal trial in absentia against the leader of the Crimean Tatar people for allegedly "illegal crossing of the Russian border" and "illegal handling of weapons."

In addition, the Southern District Military Court in Rostov-on-Don will hold a hearing in the so-called "Hizb ut-Tahrir case" against members of the so-called "second Simferopol group", which includes Tofik Abdulgaziev, Vladlen Abdulkadirov, Izzet Abdul Abdurakhmanov and Bilal Adilov. During the meeting it is planned to consider the case on the merits.
