Dagestan native convicted for living in ISIS territory
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[KavkazUzel] Milana Kurbanova received eight years in prison for living in the territory of Syria controlled by the Islamic State. The court decided that she was involved with the militants.

According to court documents, in 2014, the Derbent native flew with her family to Turkey, and then to Egypt for treatment. In February 2015, the family moved to Syria, to territory controlled by ISIS. In the city of Raqqa, the couple was separated, and a month later, the husband died during an airstrike. At that time, Kurbanova already had a child, and she was pregnant.

In the summer of 2017, she moved to Turkey, where she lived with relatives and worked in a restaurant. The woman applied to the Russian consulate several times to receive her lost passport, but was refused. She voluntarily returned to her homeland after learning about the criminal case.

In court, Milana Kurbanova testified that she did not participate in the hostilities; at that time, she was pregnant and raising a small child. Relatives told the investigator that after her marriage, the accused became religious, wore a hijab and performed namaz. However, the court considered the fact that the accused lived in the territory controlled by the militants as "an additional factor of instability and a threat to the security of the state."

The 32-year-old woman was found guilty of participating in an illegal armed group and sentenced to eight years in prison. The minimum sentence was imposed taking into account that Kurbanova has two small children and admitted her guilt, according to the case materials on the website of the Dagestanskiye Ogni City Court.

Kurbanova is included in the register of terrorists and extremists of Rosfinmonitoring.

Earlier, the "Caucasian Knot" wrote that on December 5, 2024, in Ingushetia, a court found a local resident guilty of collecting money  for the "Islamic State"* and sentenced him to 11 years in prison.
