[KavkazUzel] All participants in the protest against refugees from Israel detained in Cherkessk have been released, police said. The court fined the participants in the anti-Semitic action, and the police issued them warnings.

As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, on October 28 in Cherkessk, an unauthorized rally was held in front of the government house of Karachay-Cherkessia  , the participants of which called for not allowing refugees from Israel into the republic and organizing a collection of aid for Palestine. The rally participants stated that 500 people had gathered for the rally, and they planned to apply to hold a new rally. Police in Cherkessk drew up reports of administrative violations against 34 participants in the action against the arrival of refugees from Israel; according to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Karachay-Cherkessia, a total of about 80 people took part in the action on the square.

All detained participants in the unauthorized action on October 28 were released, the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent was told in the department of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs for Cherkessk. “They were released after drawing up protocols under Article 20.2 of the Russian Code of Administrative Offenses (violation of the established procedure for organizing or holding a meeting, rally, demonstration, procession or picketing). At the moment, there are no new detainees,” the police said.

Security forces warned the detainees about responsibility in case of repeated participation in the unauthorized rally, said the participants of the protest who were detained.

“My trial was today, I was fined 20 thousand rubles.
...about US $216...
As I heard, many are fined 15-20 thousand. But the most important thing is that we were warned about the danger of a repeat action. The warnings were even like threats. They said that they would open criminal cases.” , said one of the protesters on condition of anonymity.

Another participant said that today he was invited to the police station and had a conversation. “The conversation was short. They warned us that we would be imprisoned for repeated participation in an unauthorized rally. They said that we should not destabilize the situation in the republic. At the end, we urgently asked that we inform everyone we know about this who might potentially want to go to the rally,” another participant in the action told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent .

He noted that the security forces did not detain him. “Apparently, my number was found on one of the detainees or one of them told them that I also participated. I was not detained, at first I was surprised how they found me and my contacts. But then I guessed,” the man said.

The Cherkessk mayor's office did not receive an application to hold the action on October 31. “The mayor’s office has not received any applications regarding holding the action on October 31,” the city administration told the “Caucasian Knot” correspondent .

Cherkessk resident Svetlana Kuznetsova said that she did not notice anti-Semitic sentiments in her environment until the latest escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. “I can’t imagine how people can change their attitude towards ordinary people so quickly. It seems to me that they are not guilty of anything and should not be treated as enemies. Before these events, I did not notice any aggression towards Jews. On the contrary, everyone treated them well, responded well, were friends,” she told the “Caucasian Knot” correspondent.

Muslims of the North Caucasus did not remain indifferent to the aggravation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Thus, in Chechnya, the clergy organizes daily mass prayers in support of Palestine; on October 28, the Muftiate of Dagestan reported on thousands of participants in prayers for the Palestinians. 
Thoughts and prayers do not do the same kind of direct harm as riots intending to become murder.
From October 26 to 29, mass anti-Semitic actions took place in the cities of three republics of the North Caucasus Federal District. In Cherkessk, protesters demanded that visitors from Israel not be allowed in, and in Nalchik a cultural center was burned. In Khasavyurt, Dagestan, hundreds of people gathered at a hotel after messages on social networks that there were refugees from Israel in this hotel, and mass unrest broke out at the Makhachkala airport, according to the Caucasian Knot report “Anti-Semitic actions in the North Caucasus: how it happened.”

On the evening of October 29, mass riots occurred at Makhachkala airport due to reports of the arrival of a plane with passengers from Israel. As a result of the unrest, more than 20 people were injured, including nine police officers. Today, five victims remain in hospitals, two of them in serious condition, the Ministry of Health reported. Security forces identified more than 150 riot participants and detained 60 people. The criminal case regarding the mass riots has been transferred to Moscow investigators, and searches are being carried out at the participants of the anti-Israel protest , the investigation reported today.

On October 28, the Coordination Center for Muslims of the North Caucasus  called  anti-Semitic actions unacceptable and called not to regard the opinion of their participants as the opinion of the people. Information about who and how in the North Caucasus expressed support for Palestine is collected in the “Caucasian Knot” document “ Actions in support of Palestine in the North Caucasus.”
