Crimean Tatar Tofik Abdulhaziev, convicted in the Hizb ut-Tahrir case, is in critical condition, his wife Alie Kurtametova wrote<\/a> on Facebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On January 20, Abdulhaziev called his wife and said that he was suffering from severe dizziness, had a nosebleed, and that his blood sugar level had risen to 11. Two days earlier, he had reported that he was beginning to lose coordination and was having difficulty walking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In December 2025, Abdulhaziev was diagnosed<\/a> with a malignant brain tumor. Doctors are planning surgery. ‘But doctors are giving no chances for a normal recovery,’<\/em> his wife said. The examination was carried out after the political prisoner began losing his eyesight: his peripheral vision disappeared completely, while his central vision became clouded and blurred. In December, the Crimean resident also reported that he had begun losing consciousness and was trying not to move far away from his bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since March 2024, Abdulhaziev has been held in Prison Hospital No. 3 in Chelyabinsk. He was hospitalized there in intensive care in serious condition. After Abdulhaziev was transferred from the ICU to the intensive care ward, Kurtametova, who visited him, said<\/a> that her husband had lost nearly 40 kilograms during his imprisonment. According to his wife, his speech sometimes appeared incoherent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In April of the same year, Abdulhaziev was diagnosed<\/a> with tuberculosis, as well as bilateral pneumonia, a small left-sided hydrothorax (fluid in the lungs), and a number of other illnesses, including connected with heart and kidneys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In August 2024, a court refused to release the convicted man from serving his sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abdulhaziev is an activist with Crimean Solidarity and lived in Simferopol prior to his arrest. He was taken into custody in 2019 and, in 2022 was sentenced to 12 years in prison on charges of participation in the activities of a terrorist organization (Part 2, Article 205.5 of the Russian Criminal Code) and preparation for the violent seizure of power (Part 1, Article 30 and Article 278 of the Criminal Code).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-53974","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry","regions-chelyabinsk-oblast","regions-crimea","news-type-nashi-novosti-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nCrimean political prisoner Tofik Abdulhaziev is losing motor coordination; he was previously diagnosed with a brain tumor - Political prisoners support.
