Story
Farkhod Bazarov, a Crimean Tatar activist and father of four, is serving 15 years in prison for alleged ties to Hizb ut-Tahrir. Arrested in 2019 alongside other activists on charges of participating in a terrorist organization and preparing to seize power, his case highlights Russia’s suppression of dissent in Crimea. Bazarov’s activism for political prisoners has made him a target of Russia’s broader campaign to suppress dissent among Crimean Tatars. Advocates, including Senator Bob Menendez, call for Bazarov’s release and justice for persecuted Crimean Tatars.
