1937-2025 political repressions continue…
On February 5, 2025, at 13:00, in the city of Naberezhnye Chelny, Republic of Tatarstan, a trial will be held for 73-year-old veteran of the Tatar national movement, patriot of the Tatar people Zinnur Agliullin. According to the investigation, Agliullin allegedly compared life in Russia to a “prison” in which “Russians work for the administration.” “They were put in place to prevent other nations from gaining independence, so that they would not escape from this prison.” But isn’t he right?
However, in Tatarstan, repressions against Tatar national activists and their relatives are gaining new momentum! Even the children of activists are becoming victims of persecution…
We, Tatars, are a free people, not slaves of Russia! Turkic-Tatars are a state-forming ethnic group that once had its own independent states and a great history, our people keep in their souls the genetic memory of the glory of bygone years and memories of their great ancestors.
A distinctive feature of the Tatar character has always been generosity and tolerance towards other peoples, their culture, traditions and faith. However, the colonizers living next to the Tatars – the Muscovites, always regarded this as a softness of character and weakness, so they began to use the favor of the Tatars for their own selfish purposes, namely – they only needed service Tatars. Undoubtedly, the Tatar people with such a great past, glorious history, having suffered enormous losses and tragedies, should not disappear without a trace from the face of the earth, and this is what Zinnur Agliullin fought for many years.
Dear Tatarstan residents, colleagues, comrades, associates, people of good will, take an active part in the court hearings on the case of Zinnur Agliullin. And those who cannot come, or live in foreign countries, are asked to send letters and telegrams in support of Zinnur Agliullin. And also, we ask journalists to give wide publicity to the progress of this court hearing!
Court address: 423831, Republic of Tatarstan, Naberezhnye Chelny, Novy Gorod, 43rd complex, 16, 7th floor, judge Bondareva.
