Halya Coynash: Russia uses suspect ‘secret witness’ for concocted Crimean ‘terrorism’ trial
Ruslan Zeitullayev is spending his second birthday in custody. He is accused of 'organizing' a terrorist organization. The charges are based solely on alleged involvement in the Hizb ut-Tahrir organization which is legal in Ukraine and almost all countries. Russia has declared it 'terrorist', without explaining why.
With almost all prosecution 'witnesses' rejecting their supposed testimony in court, Russia has now pulled out a 'secret witness' in its trial of four Crimean Tatars on flawed terrorism charges. Here too, the testimony given before differs greatly from that provided on June 15, but the irregularities do not stop there.
