On 3 July a court in Russian - occupied Crimea rejected Edem Bekirov’s appeal to review his pre-trial detention. Crimean Tatar, Edem Bekirov, has been detained since December 2018 in conditions that are not suitable for his disability. He also continues to be denied the specialised medical care he urgently requires due to his numerous conditions, and that is not available in the detention centre.

Take action.
