Server Mustafayev, human rights activist and one of the coordinators of the Crimean Solidarity initiative, has been imprisoned since May 2018, with the last month and a half or more in conditions that amount to torture. The appalling treatment he is receiving would be unacceptable even for a dangerous criminal, however Mustafayev is instead a civic activist and journalist whose arrest was evidently linked with his work in Crimean Solidarity, helping political prisoners and publicizing rights abuses in occupied Crimea.
