[KavkazUzel] The defense of those convicted in the case of riots at the Makhachkala airport appealed the verdict of the Armavir City Court to the appellate court.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," the Armavir City Court sentenced the defendants in the case of the riots at the Makhachkala airport Anvarbek Atayev, Islam Ibragimov, Magomed Omaraskhabov, Rabadan Radzhabov and Salik Ramazanov to terms ranging from six years, four months to nine years. The court issued a harsh sentence, having no evidence of the defendants' guilt; the sentence will be appealed, the lawyers and relatives of the convicted stated.
On October 29, 2023, mass riots occurred at the Makhachkala airport due to the announcement of the arrival of a plane with passengers from Israel. More than 20 people were injured in the riots, 140 people are in custody, 1,200 people were brought to administrative responsibility. The accused claim that they were at the airport, but did not take part in the riots,
noted the chairman of the Public Monitoring Commission of Dagestan Shamil Khadulaev on June 13.
| Why, then, were they at the airport in the middle of a riot intended to be a pogrom? |
What happened at the Uytash airport and how the investigation is going is described in the "Caucasian Knot" report "The case of the pogrom at the Makhachkala airport".
Five people convicted in the case of participation in mass riots that took place on October 29, 2023, at the Uytash International Airport have appealed the verdict of the Armavir City Court, RBK reported.
As follows from the data in the case file on the court’s website, the appeal was registered with the court on August 29, 2024 and accepted for consideration.
The time frame for consideration of the appeal is still unknown - as of 17:58 Moscow time, the website of the Krasnodar Regional Court does not contain information about the case being received by the court.
It should also be noted that on February 17, relatives of the participants in the riots at the Makhachkala airport appealed to Russian President Vladimir Putin with a request for leniency.
On July 19, the Prosecutor General's Office reported that courts in the Krasnodar and Stavropol Territories would begin hearing other criminal cases on the riots at the Makhachkala airport; in particular, one of the cases was submitted to the Ust-Labinsk District Court. The driver, Magomed Irbeynov, whose case is being heard in Ust-Labinsk, partially admitted guilt, emphasizing that he was at the Makhachkala airport but did not take part in the riots. Irbeynov's words are confirmed by video recordings, his lawyer said. Adil Abdullaev, Budun Budunov, Gamzat Gamzatov, Kurban Ibragimov, Gasan-Guseyn Magomedov, Magomed Omalaev, and Mukhammadrasul Shakhbanov are also involved in this case.
