Detention: Eldar Ibrahimov is subject to politically motivated criminal prosecution by the Russian Federation. Russian authorities have declared him wanted in connection with the second Simferopol case of Hizb ut-Tahrir.

Sentence: The Russian Federation accuses Eldar Ibrahimov of 'participating in the activities of a terrorist organization' (Part 2, Article 205.5 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). Human rights defenders emphasize that the case is politically motivated and part of systemic repression against Crimean Tatars following the occupation of Crimea.

Ibrahimov Eldar was born on December 31, 1980. Before the politically motivated prosecution began, he lived in Simferopol (Autonomous Republic of Crimea, Ukraine).

Following the occupation of Crimea, the Russian Federation systematically uses so-called Hizb ut-Tahrir cases to persecute Crimean Tatars. Eldar Ibrahimov became one of the figures in the second Simferopol group of this case. Russian law enforcement accuses him of participating in the activities of an organization that Russia has designated as 'terrorist,' although it is not banned in Ukraine and most democratic countries.

The Crimean Tatar Resource Center recognizes Eldar Ibrahimov as a person subject to politically motivated persecution and includes him in the list of victims of the Russian occupation of Crimea. His case is documented as an example of the systematic use of Russian criminal law to suppress civil activity and freedom of religion on the occupied peninsula.

As of July 29, 2026, Eldar Ibrahimov remains wanted by the Russian Federation in a politically motivated criminal case. Open independent sources lack information about his detention, conviction, or the termination of criminal prosecution.
