Condition of Crimean Tatar Edem Bekirov who was detained while entering Crimea is critical. Lyudmyla Denisova, Commissioner of the Ukrainian Parliament for Human Rights claimed this on Facebook.
‘I have received information from the lawyer of detained by Russian law enforcement Crimean Tatar Edem Bekirov. Notwithstanding the confirmed diagnosis and critical health condition, he is still kept in the prison dorm of the remand center,’ Denisova said.
