On 24 January 2023, in different villages of Dzhankoy district of Crimea, the FSB officers conducted searches of Crimean Tatars. As a result, six people, including Osman Abdurazakov, were detained and transferred to Simferopol. The next day, the court sent all six to pre-trial detention on charges of participation in the activities of a terrorist organisation and preparation for violent seizure of power due to their involvement in the Islamic party "Hizb ut-Tahrir", which is not known for any violent activities.

Lawyers who wanted to help the detainees were not allowed to attend the hearing on the adoption of a preventive measure because they were already defending other defendants in the Hizb ut-Tahrir case. Local residents gathered outside the court building, and police detained more than 30 people.

On 22 August 2023, the case came to the Southern District Military Court in Rostov-on-Don.

On 29 April 2025, Abdurazakov was sentenced to 14 years in a strict-regime penal colony.
