[KavkazUzel] A participant in an attack by militants on the Perm OMON in Chechnya in 2000 was sentenced to life imprisonment.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that in August 2022, the court sentenced Maxim Ponaryin, a native of Stavropol Territory, to life imprisonment, recognizing him as one of the participants in the attack on the convoy of the Perm OMON in the Vedensky district in 2000.

Rashid Atuov, a native of Karachay-Cherkessia, was sentenced to 15 years in prison on the same charge. In November 2022, a court in Chechnya added to them 12.5 years in prison, appointing Ponaryin the final sentence of life imprisonment, and Atuov 20 years in prison.

On March 29, 2000, near the village of Dzhani-Vedeno in the Vedensky district of Chechnya, about 200 militants attacked a convoy of employees of the Central Internal Affairs Directorate of the Perm Region and military personnel of the local commandant's office. A total of 33 law enforcement and military officers were killed, captured and subsequently killed another 10 police officers of the Perm region. On July 5, 2002,  a memorial was opened in Perm in memory of the fallen security officials and military.

The Supreme Court of Chechnya convicted a man accused of participating in the attack on the Perm riot police in 2000 and sentenced him to life imprisonment in a special regime colony, the Prosecutor General's Office announced today.

"The court found that the accused, acting as part of an armed gang under the general leadership of Shamil Basayev and Khattab, in March 2000, during an armed rebellion near the village of Dzhani-Vedeno, Vedeno district of the Chechen Republic, committed an encroachment on the lives of employees of the Central Internal Affairs Directorate of the Perm Region and military personnel commandant's office of the Vedeno district," the publication on the department's website says.

The man, whose name is not indicated in the message, was found guilty under Art. 279 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (active participation in an armed rebellion for the purpose of forcibly changing the constitutional order and violating the territorial integrity of the Russian Federation) and Art. 317 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (encroachment on the life of law enforcement officers and a military man).

"The indictment in the criminal case was approved by the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation. […] Previously, the courts of the North Caucasus Federal District sentenced seven more members of the criminal community to long terms of imprisonment for committing this crime," the report says.
