A resident of Dagestan is accused of extremist calls

The court in Makhachkala will hear the case of a man from the Dokuzparinsky district, accused of inciting extremism due to a publication online.

A resident of the Dokuzparinsky district of Dagestan is accused of publicly calling for extremist activities via the internet (part 2 of article 280 of the Criminal Code of Russia). This article provides for up to five years of imprisonment or forced labor.

According to the prosecution's version, in 2024, the man posted some video material on his personal page in one of the messengers. The security forces saw public calls for extremist activities in it.

The case with an approved indictment has been sent to the Soviet District Court of Makhachkala, the republic's prosecutor's office reported in an official Telegram channel.

The agency did not specify whether the defendant admitted his guilt. The age, occupation, and other personal details of the accused are not provided in the message, and the content of the calls he published is not disclosed.

According to the open registry of the Soviet District Court of Makhachkala, on September 29, the first criminal case of the year under article 280 was submitted for consideration against Imirsultan Urujev.

As of 23:00 Moscow time on October 1, Urujev's data, accused under the extremist article, has not been included in the list of terrorists and extremists by Rosfinmonitoring. From open data, it follows that in the fall of 2018, Urujev entered the Agricultural College in Dagestanskie Ogni to study agricultural mechanization.

The “Caucasian Knot” currently does not have comments from the accused Urujev or his lawyers.

“Caucasian Knot” reported that in August, a military court in Rostov-on-Don sentenced Vyacheslav Grishin, a native of Novocherkassk, to a real term, whose comments were seen by the security forces as calls for extremism and justification of terrorism. Earlier, on July 31, the Southern District Military Court found a resident of Astrakhan guilty of publicly calling for terrorism and extremism, sentencing him to three years in prison.
