A resident of Ingushetia is suspected of calls for terrorism.

A previously convicted resident of Ingushetia has been detained on suspicion of public calls for terrorist activities.

"Caucasian Knot" reported that courts in southern Russia regularly sentence local residents to real prison terms for publications on social networks under the article on justifying terrorism via the internet. It is impossible to establish the actual number of such sentences, as not all cases of justifying terrorism make it into the public court registries.

The suspect was detained by the Ingush FSB with the support of Rosgvardiya fighters.

The detained man had previously been convicted of robbery and the use of violence against representatives of the authorities, the press service of the North Caucasus district of Rosgvardiya reported on its Telegram channel.

The name and age of the detainee are not mentioned in the agency's message, nor are the circumstances of his criminal case provided. The publication notes that "operational-search activities" are being conducted to clarify the details of the crime.

The article on public calls for terrorist activities (Article 205.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) provides for a prison sentence of two to five or five to seven years, depending on the part. The minimum punishment under this article involves a monetary fine of 300,000 rubles.

"Caucasian Knot" also reported that employees of the Center "E" in Ingushetia suspected a 28-year-old resident of Malgobek of justifying terrorism due to his publications on social media. During the investigation, the young man has been placed under house arrest.
