Crimean Solidarity reports.

The occupation court ruled administrative arrests based on the protocols drawn up under parts 1 and 4 of Article 20.2.2. of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation "Organization of mass simultaneous gathering and (or) movement of citizens in public places, which caused a violation of public order".

In their turn, the activists said that the "law enforcement officers" read out the decree to them on the street, the people listened and stood at a sufficient social distance, but the “operatives” escorted them to a police bus. The detainees were taken to the Bakhchisaray police department for drawing up administrative protocols.

"We don't know why they detained us. We were standing at a distance of one and a half meters from each other", - one of the activists said.

Among them were elderly Crimean Tatar public figures, correspondent and citizen journalist of Crimean Solidarity Aziz Azizov, mother of political prisoner Seyran Saliyev - Zodiye Salieva, and other Crimean Solidarity activists.

Dzheppar Muzaffarov was arrested for five days.

Aziz Azizov, Reshat Seidametov, Nariman Seitaliev, Kyazim Useinov were arrested for seven days.

Eleanor Izmailov and Memet Lumanov were arrested for ten days.

Elderly activists received fines.

"It was another act of intimidation for those who come to court", - lawyer Emil Kurbedinov said.
