Bashkir activist. Detained on 13 January 2021 and taken into custody as part of a case of preparation to commit hooliganism. He was later sent to a Federal Penitentiary Service Department hospital and then to a psychoneurological dispensary. In February 2022, Sharafutdinov returned home. The investigation of his case continued, he was also accused of organising the activities of an extremist organisation. The case was brought to court, but in August 2023 the trial was suspended. In January 2024, the court resumed hearings, suspended them again in June, but returned to the case in July. On 19 November 2024, Sharafutdinov was sentenced to 9 years in a general regime penal colony. On 24 April 2025, the court of appeal overturned the sentence and returned the case to the prosecutor's office. In December 2025, the case came back to court, but without the charge of organising the activities of an extremist organisation.
The activist's relatives consider the prosecution as part of the pressure on eco-activists who participated in the actions in defence of the Kushtau shikhan.
