Full summary
Resident of Kherson (Ukraine). Detained on 6 April 2022 at the entrance to Crimea. A case was opened against him for participation in an illegal armed formation, namely the Crimean Tatar Volunteer Battalion named after Noman Chelebidzhikhan, which apparently was no longer functioning at the time of the prosecution. According to Ibraimov, after his detention, the FSB officers offered him to confess and cooperate with them: in particular, to tell them about the SBU officers he knew. Ibraimov refused, then other people entered the room and hit him on the head and ribs. The case is based on the testimony of witness Seyat-Ibram Zaitullayev, whose testimony is also included in other cases of those accused of involvement in the battalion. Ibraimov claims he has never met Zaitullayev before. Ibraimov was taken into custody. On 25 August 2022, he was sentenced to ten years in a strict regime colony.
