[KavkazUzel] The sentences handed down by the Oktyabrsky and Kirovsky district courts of Stavropol to two groups of people convicted of participating in the riots at the Makhachkala airport have entered into legal force.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot", the Kirov District Court in Stavropol Krai sentenced Maksud Shcheikhgasanov, Ismail Ibakov, Shamil Mirzabekov, Magomed Khalilbegov and Rabadan Rabadanov, accused of involvement in the riots at the Makhachkala airport, to terms ranging from eight years to nine years and four months. At the end of January, the Oktyabrsky Court sentenced Gamzat Isakov, Makhmud Dzhavatkhanov and Abdulbasir Atavov to lengthy terms.
The sentences of two groups of those convicted in the "airport case" have come into force, lawyer Bashir Abdurakhmanov, who defended the participants in the trials in the Oktyabrsky District Court of Stavropol and the Kirovsky District Court of Stavropol Krai, told a "Caucasian Knot" correspondent on March 28.
"When considering the appeal in the Oktyabrsky District Court, the convicts were given two months of imprisonment each, and the sentence was upheld. As for the Kirovsky District Court, the convicts decided not to file an appeal. Thus, both sentences came into force," Abdurakhmanov said.

It turned out there were no Jews on the plane, and as the small local Jewish population was keeping itself carefully out of sight, the crowd turned to riot and mayhem at the airport, causing extensive and expensive damage while the world watched. The government was mortified; it has proceeded to share its pain with the entire mob as each man is identified and caught… |
