Ramil Gataullin was imprisoned for his religious belief and activity. 

In March 2016, authorities arrested Gataullin after accusing him of being a member of the banned Hizb ut-Tahrir organization. Prosecutors accused him of participating in Hizb ut-Tahrir meetings, studying the organization's literature, and seeking to attract new members for the organization.
