In Crimea, after a search, 37-year-old Edem Murtazaev was detained on suspicion of “assisting sabotage” on February 23 on a railway in the Bakhchisarai region, where the rails were damaged. It is reported by Zmina with reference to the Crimean Solidarity association.
A search warrant for " circumstances that brook no delay" was issued by Alexander Lavrov, a senior forensic investigator of the investigative department of the Federal Security Service of Russia.
Crimean Tatar activist Elmaz Akimova said that Murtazaev has epilepsy and, because of his illness, did not even travel outside of Yangyi Maale, where he lives.
