Said Nursi is a Turkish Isamic theologian

[KakazUzel] For 12 years, a resident of Izberbash attended meetings of the banned religious association "Nurdzhular." Now he will stand trial, the investigation said.

As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote , after the death of the Turkish educator, thinker, philosopher and politician Said Nursi (1878-1960), his followers formed the Nurcular movement, which the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation declared extremist on April 10, 2008, its activities on the territory of Russia are prohibited. Nursi's books were included in the  all-Russian list of  printed and other materials recognized by the court as extremist.

In Dagestan, the investigation of a criminal case on participation in the activities of an extremist organization against a 37-year-old resident of Izberbash has been completed. According to the investigation, in 2008 he joined the international religious association "Nurcular"
...which has millions of followers around the globe, especially in Turkey, has been banned in Russia since 2008. They want a Turkic caliphate comprising those regions of the Middle East, the Caucasus, Central Asia, and Russia's North Caucasus and Volga regions...
and until March 2020 took part in its activities, in particular, attended meetings "to study ideological sources," the ICR department for Dagestan reported today. 

The criminal case with the approved indictment was sent to the court, the investigation informed.

Part 2 of Article 282 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (participation in the activities of an extremist organization) provides for up to six years in prison.

The "Caucasian Knot" has not yet received any comments from the accused or his official representatives regarding the version of the investigation.

The "Caucasian Knot" also wrote that on August 28, 2018, the European Court of Human Rights ruled in the case "Ibragimov and Others v. Russia," where the publisher challenged the decisions of the Russian courts, which recognized 14 books from the collected works of the Turkish theologian Said Nursi as extremist.

The ECtHR concluded that, when considering cases on recognizing Nursi's books as extremist, the Russian courts did not provide sufficient grounds to interfere with the applicants' right to freedom of expression. The decision of the ECHR will become the basis for challenging the sentences to the followers of the Turkish theologian, said the former imam of the Spiritual Directorate of Muslims of the Asian part of Russia, candidate of physical and mathematical sciences, associate professor Ilkhom Merazhov.
