On 2 May 2019, law enforcement agencies detained Mustafa on a charge of using violence against a government official, dangerous to life and health. A court placed him into custody. Later, officers reclassified the charge to non-dangerous violence, softening the accusation.
In December, he began a hunger strike against the conditions of detention in the pre-trial detention center in Pyatigorsk and the demand to shave off his beard.
