Title: Who is Azat Miftakhov? Author: Rev Dia Date: 17 February 2019 Language: en Topics: Russia, anarchist prisoner, repression Source: Retrieved on 26th January 2022 from a translation of https://revdia.org/2019/02/17/hto-takij-azat-miftahov/
Russia is a good example of what will happen if we constantly tighten
our belts and do not protest. It has become a real dystopia.
Interrogations, constant attacks by terrorists from the FSB, a frantic
rise in prices and propagandists without conscience and honor.
Azat Miftakhov’s case is full of absurdity, and clearly demonstrates all
the charms of the dictatorial regime. The FSB storms anarchists across
Moscow, and reports the discovery of an underground terrorist group. As
the main proof — photos of airsoft equipment. The FSB is trying to
torture detainees to confess, but they have failed. The only person who
testified immediately stated that they had been tortured. The FSB
hastened to make statements about the revelation of the terrorist group,
the propagandists released a series of stories in which they distorted
the facts, openly lied, and tried their best to expose the People’s
Self-Defense anarchists as terrorists.
Cases are falling apart without evidence, only the talented young
mathematician Azat Miftakhov, who has nothing at all, remains in the
hands of the special services. He was abducted in front of a lawyer,
buried, his detention extended to gather evidence, but the case
eventually fell apart.
The old case of the attack on the United Russia office was taken out of
the archives, the mathematician was fired, and the new case was
immediately detained, again buried in one of the police stations, but
the public quickly found him. In a panic, the operatives run around
Moscow, looking for the old people involved in the case and calling them
back, demanding to appear “as soon as possible” to force them to testify
against a mathematician. They refuse, and as a result, one of the police
officers puts on a mask and calls himself a secret witness. He allegedly
saw the attack on the United Russia office a year ago and recognized the
mathematician among the attackers by his eyebrows. He did not
immediately report the attack because his phone was discharged.
This ridiculous proof is also not enough to condemn the mathematician.
That is why they are making a certificate that he is a member of an
organization of anarchists who want to seize power in the country, and
they are organizing crimes all over Russia and even in Paris. Moreover,
the police claim that while sitting in prison, the mathematician went to
the station and bought a ticket to another country to escape after he
was released from prison…
Azat’s story is not over. One can only envy his willpower. In the case
of the “network”, we know how cruel and horrific torture is used by
terrorists from the FSB, how they fabricate cases solely on the evidence
of those beaten out under torture. Azat is in dire need of our support,
the service
has an opportunity to write him a letter, it is very necessary for him
to feel the support of his comrades now. It is also necessary to spread
information about him, because although the FSB is no longer afraid to
openly do its dark deeds, widespread public support continues to help
put pressure on terrorists.
Our strength is in solidarity!
