Additional information:

On August 24, 2023, in Simferopol, while a court was considering a preventive measure for three Crimean Tatars suspected of terrorist activities, police officers detained citizen journalist Nuri Abdurashitov near the court building. His documents were checked and he was released. The police subsequently conveyed through lawyers that the next day they would detain everyone who came to the court building, which could have had an impact on the covering of the events.
