28 HOSTAGES OF THE KREMLIN 4.3. THE CASE OF HAYSER DZHEMILEV On 27 May, 2014, the Kyiv Appellate Court ruled that the period of Hayser Dzhemilev’s detention in a detention facility is excessive, and ordered his release from custody. 47 In July 2014, the European Court of Human Rights ordered that Russia “ensure freedom for Dzhemilev’s son”. 48 The Russian side has ignored the decision of the ECHR, thus violating international treaties with the EU. According to Mustafa Dzhemilev, Russian investigative authorities have promised Hayser that he would be released under amnesty if he agrees to accept Russian citizenship, but Dzhemilev Jr. refused to do so, wishing to retain the citizenship of Ukraine. 49 36 On 10 April, 2015, the Dniprovskiy District Court of Kyiv deemed Hayser Dzhemilev guilty of embezzlement, illegal possession of weapons and ammunition, as well as negligent homicide. The court sentenced him in absentia to 3 years and 8 months in prison. The sentence came into force in May 2015. On 21 May, 2015, the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, in accordance with the European Convention on Extradition Document of Ukraine’s Ministry of Justice, confirming that the Ukrainian side addressed Russia with a request for the extradition of Hayser Dzhemilev of 1957, appealed to the General Prosecutor’s Office of the Russian Federation with a request that Hayser Dzhemilev be subjected to extradition in order to serve the sentence, handed down by the district court. 50 The Russian side has not yet responded to the request. On 27 May, 2015, the Krasnodar Regional Court of the RF rejected the request of Counsel Nikolay Polozov, regarding the dismissal of the criminal case against Hayser Dzhemilev due to his previous sentencing. 51 Thus, another important legal principle was violated, as no one may be convicted twice for the same offence. 47 Glavcom [‘The Commander’] / Representative of Ukraine in the European Court Natalia Sevostyanova: Russia is responsible for every death in the Donbas — www.glavcom.ua/articles/25118.html 48 Ukrainskaya Pravda [‘The Ukrainian Truth’’]/ / Dzemilev addressed the European Court on behalf of his son, who was put in jail and is now subjected to blackmail in Crimea — www.pravda.com.ua/rus/news/20 14/07/16/7032085/?attempt=1 49 LІGA.Novosti / Dzemilev’s son was offered amnesty in exchange for Russian citizenship -www.news.liga. net/news/politics/2551718-synu_dzhemileva_predlagali_amnistiyu_v_obmen_na_grazhdanstvo_rf.htm 50 ZN.UA / Ukrainian court sentenced Dzemilev’s a request for his extradition was sent to the Russian Federation www.dt.ua/UKRAINE/ukrayinskiy-sud-vinis-virok-sinovi-dzhemilyeva-v-rf-napravili-zapit-naekstradiciyu-nardep‐174000_.html 51 Ukrainskaya Pravda [‘The Ukrainian Truth’’]/ Russian court refused to dismiss the case against Dzhemilev’s son — www.pravda.com.ua/rus/news/2015/05/27/7069308/
28 HOSTAGES OF THE KREMLIN | | The political nature of the case A number of violations in the case of Hayser Dzhemilev indicate the political nature of his prosecution. Hayser Dzhemilev has become a hostage, whom Russia tried to use in order to exert pressure on his father Mustafa Dzhemilev. Mustafa Dzhemilev is a human rights activist, dissident and one of the leaders of the Crimean Tatar nation. For many years, he has been the leader of the Crimean Tatar national movement. Like the majority of the Crimean Tatars, Mustafa Dzhemilev opposed the occupation and annexation of the Crimean Peninsula by Russia. As a result, Russia has attempted to exert pressure on Dzhemilev by prosecuting his son in order to prompt him to change his position regarding Crimea. Dzhemilev himself stated that he would not give in to blackmail: “It’s outright blackmail, because they didn’t have the right to keep my son in detention. A Ukrainian court ruled that it was not murder, but rather careless handling of weapons. There is also a decision of the European Court of Human Rights regarding his release from custody, because his case does not fall under the Russian law”. 52 On 26 September, 2015, it was announced that Hayser Dzhemilev had been transferred to Astrakhan Province in the south-west of the Russian Federation. His relatives were not officially notified about the place to which Dzhemilev was transferred. According to Russian law, he must serve his sentence in a prison near his place of residence (in Crimea), or near the place of sentencing (Krasnodar Krai). According to Counsel Nikolay Polozov, the illegal transfer of Dhzemilev to another region is a politically motivated decision of the Russian authorities prompted by Mustafa Dzhemilev’s principled position regarding the occupation of the Crimean peninsula by Russia. 53 Currently, Hayser Dzhemilev is being held in penal colony № 10 in the city of Astrakhan. It should be noted that Mustafa Dzhemilev is prohibited from entering the territory of the Russian Federation. 37 52 Dzemilev is hoping for a compromise with Putin regarding the release of his son — www.pravda.com.ua/ rus/news/2014/10/4/7039793/ 53 Facebook / The page of Nikolay Polozov — https://www.facebook.com/nikolay.polozov/ posts/919166071482123
