[KavkazUzel] For most of those accused in criminal cases of participation in mass riots at the Makhachkala airport, the arrest period has been extended until the end of March, while almost no investigative actions are being carried out, and a number of those arrested are prohibited from visiting. One of those arrested, Gerey Dzhamalutdinov, claims that he was not at the airport, and security forces forced him to incriminate himself, but the investigation has not verified his alibi, said lawyers and a member of the public monitoring commission of Dagestan.
The "Caucasian Knot" wrote that by December 13, about 150 people had been arrested in the criminal case of mass unrest at the airport.
On October 29, mass riots occurred at Makhachkala airport due to reports of the arrival of a plane with passengers from Israel. More than 20 people were injured in the riots, including nine police officers. By December 13, about 150 people had been arrested in connection with the criminal case of riots at the airport . What happened at the airport and how the investigation is proceeding is described in the “Caucasian Knot” report “ The case of the pogrom at the Makhachkala airport.”
The exact number of those detained in criminal cases regarding mass unrest at the Makhachkala airport is unknown, but there are at least 120 people, Deputy Chairman of the Public Monitoring Commission of Dagestan Shamil Khadulaev told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
“Courts are continually extending the detention of those accused of participating in or organizing riots. Everyone facing a criminal case is in pre-trial detention. Some people previously received administrative punishment - some were arrested for several days, others were fined and released,” noted He.
According to him, there were no complaints about pressure from those in custody. “The only case is with Gerey Dzhamalutdinov. He claims that he was not at the airport at all. He did not take part in the riots. He said that he was picked up on October 30 by patrol officers, taken to the police department, where he was forced to incriminate himself, promising , that he would only be given an administrative fine for “petty hooliganism.” But in the end, he also ended up in a pre-trial detention center,” Khadulaev explained.
He also noted that he is not aware of the wanted list of those involved in the criminal case. “But there are those who avoid calls to investigators in this case,” Khadulaev said.
Jamalutdinov's lawyer Armail Gasanov confirmed that his client was groundlessly charged under the article on mass riots (Part 2 of Article 212 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation provides for three to eight years in prison). “He fell under the hot hand. He has an alibi. Dzhamalutdinov simply was not at the scene of the events at the airport,” he said.
The lawyer noted that the investigation actually ignores the alibi and other defense arguments. “It’s elementary that we need to bill Jamalutdinov’s phone: where he was during the action at the airport. There are also witnesses who communicated with him live at the same time. They can be interrogated. The investigation, in turn, indicated in the indictment that a certain Aliyev points to Jamalutdinov ". The defense has sent a request for a confrontation between Jamalutdinov and this person. If the investigation does not respond to the requests, on Monday we will file a complaint with the court against the investigator in accordance with Article 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure," Gasanov told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
Almost no investigative actions are carried out, and the courts are busy only prolonging detention, the lawyer said. “Nobody argues that everyone must answer within the framework of the law. For example, at the last court hearing on the extension of detention, five people were detained in bulk, including my client. Four of them have evidence from CCTV cameras, where they were recorded and identified. What they were doing there is another matter. But there is no such data on Dzhamalutdinov at all. Apart from unfounded allegations that a certain Aliyev points to him. The defense did not see Aliyev’s testimony itself. I think Aliyev is either a fictitious person, or one of the participants in the action, who, in exchange for the investigation’s promise to ease the punishment, testifies against those pointed out by the investigators,” said Hasanov.
Dzhamalutdinov, like most of the defendants in this case, had his preventive measure extended until the end of March 2024, the lawyer said.
At the beginning of the investigation, lawyer Abdulbari Ramazanov represented the interests of four people charged under criminal charges of mass riots, including a disabled woman of the second group, who is now also in a pre-trial detention center. But currently he has two clients left. The lawyer did not name the names of his clients without their permission.
“The plot of the accusation is like a carbon copy for everyone. Only one is accused of being in terminal B, and the other on the runway during these events. The main evidence is the testimony of CCTV cameras and video recordings of the participants in the events themselves,” Ramazanov explained.
The resolution to initiate a criminal case states that on October 29, “unidentified persons located in an unidentified place,” in order to prevent the arrival of Israeli citizens in Dagestan, through a Telegram account, posted calls to the population of the republic to go to unsanctioned protests at the Uytash airport. Subsequently, at about 20.00 on October 29, those who were at the airport, guided by the above goals, “committed mass riots, offering armed resistance to law enforcement officers, entered the protected area, where they committed pogroms in the airport premises,” the lawyer said.
Ramazanov also confirmed that no investigative actions are being carried out as such. “Only familiarization with the results of the examinations. No one has any complaints about the detention. But there are complaints that the defendants are not given visits with relatives,” he added.

Sources reported increased security measures after calls for a rally in Makhachkala
Additional police forces have been deployed to the streets of Makhachkala following calls for a rally published online, and several streets have been blocked, sources said.
As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, on December 19, the Security Council of Dagestan threatened with criminal prosecution those who respond to calls for an unauthorized protest on Malygina Street, published on social networks. The imam of the Makhachkala mosque on Malygina Street asked Muslims not to participate in the protests.
Security measures have been strengthened in Makhachkala, police are patrolling the central streets, and travel is closed on a number of streets, the anonymous telegram channel “What’s up with the Dagestanis?” reported today.
The anonymous telegram channel "PE Caucasus" reported the same today. “There is an increase in police presence in the city of Makhachkala. At the moment, there is information on the streets of Yaragskogo, Reduktorny, the station area, Lenin, Malygina, Dakhadayev,” the message says.
The publication is illustrated with three short videos filmed from car interiors. The footage shows police cars standing with flashing lights on along roads and across the roadway, as well as police officers and soldiers in camouflage clothing standing in groups of several people.
The "Caucasian Knot" does not have information about when and where these videos were recorded, and cannot yet confirm the information of anonymous telegram channels.
Let us remember that in early November, calls also appeared on social networks to go to a protest rally in Makhachkala to demand the release of those detained after the riots at the airport. The head of Dagestan, Sergei Melikov, called on residents of the republic not to go to unauthorized rallies. At least two people received administrative penalties for publishing calls for a rally on WhatsApp*. On November 9, the administration of the head of Dagestan responded to new calls for unauthorized rallies, threatening participants in such rallies with fines and imprisonment.
On October 29, mass riots occurred at Makhachkala airport due to reports of the arrival of a plane with passengers from Israel. More than 20 people were injured in the riots, including nine police officers. By December 13, about 150 people had been arrested in connection with the criminal case of riots at the airport .
