[KavkazUzel] A court in Makhachkala sentenced Gogush Absaidova to six years in prison, recognizing her as a member of the group of Syrian militants of the Islamic State. The punishment for the woman is deferred until her child is 14 years old.

As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, in June 2021, the participants of the seminar in Moscow stated that, although the authorities recognize the need to return the wives and children of militants from Syria, including natives of the North Caucasus, the problems of their rehabilitation and social adaptation remain relevant.

In 2021, Russian human rights activists released an analytical report on human rights problems and violations of humanitarian norms in Syria over the past 10 years of conflict. The "Caucasian Knot" published a  note about this report.

The Soviet District Court of Makhachkala found local resident Gogush Absaidova guilty of participating in an illegal armed formation of the Islamic State terrorist organization banned in Russia in Syria. The court sentenced her to six years in a penal colony, but postponed the execution of the sentence until the convict's son reaches the age of 14. She is forbidden to leave her district and change her place of residence without notifying the penitentiary inspection, where she must check in every month, Kavkaz.Realii reports today.

According to the case file, in 2014, Gogush Absaidova, together with her husband and son, flew to Turkey, where she secretly crossed the border with Syria and joined the IS militants. For three years, Absaidova lived in Aleppo, cooked, washed and mended the clothes of the militants, receiving $100 a month for this and another $75 for child support.

Absaidova's husband took part in the fighting and soon died. In October 2017, she surrendered to the Kurds, after which she and her children were sent to a camp for families of militants in the area of ​​Qamishli, and a year later, to the Al-Khol refugee camp.
I think that means the one in Rantburg’s archives as al-Hol or al-Hawl camp.
In the spring of 2021, in the deportation center of Turkey, she filled out the documents for her return to Russia, the newspaper writes.

Gogush Absaidova was found guilty under Part 2 of Article 208 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, according to the case file posted on the court website. Part 2 of Article 208 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation provides for eight to 15 years in prison.

According to the text of the verdict, published in the case file, the woman was detained at Moscow's Vnukovo airport when she flew to Russia. “Until the moment of detention, the defendant did not report her participation in an illegal armed formation to law enforcement agencies, having a real opportunity to do so. At the hearing, the defendant fully agreed with the accusation brought against her by the preliminary investigation body. crimes and actively repented of her deed and asks not to deprive her of her freedom," the verdict says.

The mother of Gogush Absaidova was interrogated in court as a witness. She said that in 2013 her daughter got married, and at the end of 2014, she left for Syria with her husband without warning her relatives. In 2017, Gogush's mother began to turn to public figures with a request to take her grandchildren out of Syria.

"In 2020, they were taken out of the territory of the SAR and transported by air to redacted, and then home. In 2017, she became aware that the defendant was being held captive by the Kurds in the Al-Khol camp. In early 2021, she became it is known that the defendant left the Al-Hol camp and is in a deportation camp in Turkey, from where she was subsequently deported in April 2021," the court order says.

As mitigating circumstances, the court considered the presence of Absaidova's two young children, a positive reference at the place of residence, a full admission of guilt and repentance. "The court comes to the conclusion that the punishment imposed on the defendant using the rules of Article 64 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ( "Assignment of a more lenient punishment than provided for this crime." - Note by the "Caucasian Knot" ) is below the lower limit of the sanction provided for by Part 2 of Art. 208 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ... The court also sees no grounds for passing a sentence without sentencing or release from punishment," the verdict says.
