On Thursday morning, at least 13 people (10 men and three women) were detained near the “Supreme Court of Crimea”. The detainees came to support Nariman Dzhelyal, Asan Akhtemov and Aziz Akhtemov. Among them were both parents of Aziz Akhtemov and two journalists.
Amongst the detainees are: Akhtemova Zarema, Akhtemov Eskender, Ablyamitov Kerim, Useinov Rustem, Kurnosov Rustem, Akhtemov Server, Useinova Seyara, Teifuk Mansur, Abdurakhmanov Nariman, Mustafa Mustafayev, Dzhelyalov Ruslan, as well as journalist Lutfie Zudieva and citizen journalist Ibragimov Kulamet.
The detainees were put on a bus and taken to the Zaliznychnyi police station for identification. Listeners, including relatives of the defendants, were not allowed into the court.
According to Russian security officials, the reason for the detention was a report to the emergency service 102 on a “violation of public law and order”.

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy visited Dnipro in southeastern Ukraine on Thursday (July 27) to discuss the situation on the battlefield, supplies for troops and how to strengthen air defences. “We started the working day in Dnipro,” Zelenskiy said on the Telegram messaging app under video footage of him leading a meeting with military commanders and government officials. “As always, we pay close attention to the supply of ammunition to our troops. The efficiency of using the existing air defence systems and reinforcing the sky shield, taking into account supplies from partners,” he said.
The Dnipropetrovsk region, an important economic centre in southeastern Ukraine, is not far from the front line and borders Kherson in the south, Donetsk region in the east, and further north Kharkiv region. Dnipro city, capital of the region, had a pre-war population of about 1 million people, and has become a logistical and humanitarian hub for Ukraine since Russia’s full-scale invasion on Feb 24, 2022.
