Story
Bilyal Adilov, a Crimean Tatar imam and father of eight, is serving 14 years in prison on charges of alleged ties to Hizb ut-Tahrir. Arrested in 2019 during a crackdown on Crimean Solidarity members — a group supporting political prisoners and their families, his case highlights Russia’s systematic repression of Crimean Tatars under occupation. Rights groups denounce his imprisonment as politically motivated and urge action to address ongoing abuses in Crimea.
