| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [KavkazUzel] A mother of many children from Makhachkala, having fallen under the influence of her husband, went to Syria, where she joined the ranks of ISIS, the investigation believes. The defense calls these allegations unsubstantiated. Investigators accuse the woman of involvement in the Islamic State terrorist organization banned in Russia by a court. According to them, she went to Syria under the influence of her husband. The accused is currently under arrest. She faces up to 20 years in prison on the charges. The defense side calls the allegations of the investigation unsubstantiated. "She had no intentions to participate in any groups or take up arms. Also, the investigator's statement that the defendant had a goal on the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic to oppose the interests of the Russian Federation defies any logical explanation," the appeal says to the arrest, the text of which was published on January 4 by Kavkaz.Realii. The "Caucasian Knot" previously wrote that in December 2022, the court sentenced Bulat Gamzatov, a native of Makhachkala , to 15.5 years in prison, recognizing him as the organizer of a cell of a terrorist organization, whose members planned attacks on security forces in Stavropol. |
