On June 15, 2006, Sinaver Qadirov, the Azadliq Action Committee member and a former Mejlis deputy, was asked to pay 510 grivni as a penalty for his involvement for the restoration of the Azadliq Information Tent in Simferopol’s Lenin Square.

The tent was first put on the Square on May 13, 2006. Then it was moved to the side of the Square because of a book exhibition that was going to take place in the Square on May 23, 2006. Consequently, on May 26, 2006, Simferopol J-D Vokzal District Court's unexpectedly decided on the removal of the Azadliq Information Tent from the Lenin Square and sued Sinaver Qadirov for his involvement in the reconstruction of the tent at the side of the Square during the book exhibition.

According to Qadirov, he was not the organizer of the tent reconstruction and he was just at the Square for some other business during the resconstruction of the tent. Qadirov states that there is in fact a video tape that proves this fact. This video tape was taken by two Crimean police officers who were at post at the time of the reconstruction of the tent. When Qadirov inquired about this video tape to prove his innocence, he was informed that the tape was somehow got lost in the process and those two officers who shot the video tape have moved out of Crimea.

Azadliq Action Commitee members are concerned that Qadirov could be the second scape goat (after Kurtseid Abdullayev) of these latest conflictual events in Crimea
