The Trial of Reshat Dzhemilev (Tashkent)
The trial of Reshat Dzhemilev, arrested on 4 April 1979 (53.22-1), was resumed (CCE 54.17) in Tashkent on 11 December. Dzhemilev’s relatives and friends were allowed into the courtroom.
On the second or third day of the trial Dzhemilev said that he no longer wished to be defended, since his counsel was behaving like a prosecutor. The court passed sentence on 17 December: three years in strict-regime camps.
