Four members of anti-Israel Dagestan airport mob sentenced to decade in penal colony

[IsraelTimes] Punishment said to be harshest yet in connection to riot at Makhachkala Int’l Airport after the arrival of a plane carrying ‘unclean’ passengers from Tel Aviv, 3 weeks after Oct. 7

Russian prosecutors announced Friday that four people had been sentenced to a decade each in a penal colony for their part in an antisemitic riot at a Dagestan
...a formerly inoffensive Caucasus republic currently bedevilled by low-level Islamic insurgency, occasional outbreaks of separatism, ethnic tensions and terrorism, primarily due to its proximity to Chechnya. There are several dozen ethnic groups, most of which speak either Caucasian, Turkic, or Iranian languages. Largest among these ethnic groups are the Avar, Dargin, Kumyk, Lezgin, and Laks. While Russers form less than five percent of the population, Russian remains the primary official language and the lingua franca...
airport on October 29, 2023.

Hebrew media said it was the harshest sentence yet in connection with the attack, which saw hundreds of anti-Israel protesters storm the Makhachkala International Airport after a plane arrived from Tel Aviv, in a spate of unrest over the war in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...

attacked Israel.

Russian prosecutors said the three people who incited the violence on Instagram were still wanted by authorities.

Video footage from the riot showed the protesters, mostly young men, waving Paleostinian flags, breaking down glass doors and running through the airport shouting "Allahu Akbar" (God is greatest). The airport closed for a week after being stormed, but no passengers were hurt.

Regional prosecutors in Russia’s southwestern district of Stavropol said on Telegram that the region’s Georgievsk City Court had found Marat Rabadanov, Radzhab Radzhabov, Magomed Ramazanov and Zaurbeg Khalikov culpable in the violence "on the grounds of ethnic and religious hatred and enmity toward citizens of Israel."

The Kan public broadcaster said the sentence was the fourth, and the harshest, punishment meted out by the Stavropol court against members of the Dagestani mob in recent months.

The earliest convictions, in June, saw five men incarcerated

for six to nine years each. Last month, another 10 people were sentenced to over eight years in prison, according to Russian media.

Kan said the trials have been moved from Dagestan to neighboring Stavropol due to concern that a Dagestani court would not hold a fair trial.

It was unclear if this meant that courts in Dagestan, a predominantly Moslem region, were thought to be overly or insufficiently stringent.

According to the Stavropol prosecutors, the Dagestani mob had disrupted the Makhachkala airport’s operations, caused 24 million rubles ($233,000) worth of property damage, and committed "unlawful acts against 30 representatives of the authorities," 23 of whom "suffered bodily injuries of varying severity."

The mob was incited by a Telegram channel urging Dagestanis "to organize and participate in mass riots" against Israeli citizens, according to a statement by Russia’s Investigative Committee, the country’s top prosecutorial body which is known by its Russian initials SRK.

The channel, which was later banned by Telegram, did not use the word "Jew," but referred to "unclean" passengers arriving on the plane from Tel Aviv.

SRK said the channel’s operators, whom the agency named as Ilya Ponomarev, Abakar Abakarov and Israil Akhmednabiyev, were still wanted by authorities, along with four other people who took part in the mob.

In all, SRK said it had completed preliminary investigations into 135 people involved in the attack and forwarded 28 criminal cases to the court. A total of 38 people have been found guilty in seven of the cases, the agency said.

Dagestan’s small, ancient Jewish community — known as Juhuri, which is also the name of their Hebrew- and Aramaic-inflected dialect — has been targeted by Islamist gunnies for years before October 7, 2023, when thousands of Hamas-led gunnies stormed southern Israel to kill some 1,200 people and take 251 hostages, sparking the war in Gaza and precipitating a worldwide surge in antisemitism.

In June, the community’s 110-year-old Derbent Synagogue was burnt down amid a large-scale Islamist attack on non-Moslems in the area.

#1 No such thing as disproportionate response. Retaliate so hard No one will ever want to mess with you again. Read " Ender's Game".
