On April 21, 2020, an operative Osman Tadzhiev came to the house of the civil activist and blogger Elmaz Akimova, questioned her, and handed her a warning about the inadmissibility of extremist actions. He said that the warning was brought, among other things, because of the «March of Dignity» event being planned for May 3. The list also included possible events for May 18 – the Day of Remembrance of Victims of the Deportation of the Crimean Tatar People.
