Then there followed detention, home checks and placement into a psychiatric hospital for compulsory examination. Despite the poor health, in particular passed complicated heart surgery and diabetes, Umerov was forcibly placed for 3 weeks in a psychiatric hospital.

On September 7 Umerov was released from a mental hospital. Now he is at home, in Bakhchisaray, under house arrest.

On December 29 the deputy head of the Mejlis stated that neither he personally nor his lawyer, nor his daughter could not pay the fine which was awarded to a detainee by the «court» occupiers.
