Khalide Bekirova said that Remzi Bekirov wrote his last letter on October 2, and the family had not received any calls from him for more than two and a half months.

I, as his wife, am very worried about him. I don't know what's wrong with him, where he is now, whether he is being held in the punishment cell again. Because at the time when he wrote his last letter on October 2, he had been in the punishment cell for a long time, and on completely unfounded charges,

- Khalide Bekirova said.

She also noted that she had written complaints to the prosecutor's office and the Federal Penitentiary Service and was waiting for a response from the agencies.
