The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that colleagues of the arrested editor of "Chernovik" Abdulmumin Gadzhiev consider his criminal case to be political persecution and regularly hold single-person pickets in his support in the center of Makhachkala, next to the complex of buildings of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the FSB department for Dagestan. On July 24, such actions were carried out by the deputy editor-in-chief of Chernovik Magomed Magomedov and the journalist of Novoye Delo Idris Yusupov . According to colleagues, Gadzhiev suffers because the newspaper voiced "uncomfortable questions" to the authorities and security forces, the "Caucasian Knot" report " Draft" says: threats, criminal cases, murder of the editor-in-chief . Today Idris Yusupov and Magomed Magomedov held one-man pickets at the traditional place - at the intersection of Dakhadaev Street and Gamzatov Avenue. Idris Yusupov began his picket with a placard: "Freedom to journalism!" at 13.10 Moscow time and finished at 13.30 Moscow time, Magomed Magomedov told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent. According to him, Idris Yusupov was approached by police officers. Magomedov himself held a one-man picket demanding the release of Abdulmumin Gadzhiev. The security forces did not try to interfere with the holding of single actions, he noted. Recall that Abdulmumin Gadzhiev, as well as the head of the Ansar Charitable Foundation Abubakar Rizvanov and Kemal Tambiev, have been detained since June 2019 on charges of financing terrorism. Investigators believe that they collected 68 million rubles and 200,000 dollars for the terrorists under the pretext of building mosques and helping poor Muslims. The investigation connects the defendants with the Dagestan preacher and founder of the Mukhadzhirun Islamic Foundation, Israil Akhmednabiev, known as Abu Umar Sasitlinsky. The defendants plead not guilty. On June 22, the state prosecutor demanded that each of the defendants be sentenced to 19 years in prison. The prosecutor ignored the arguments of the experts and the testimonies of witnesses, Hajiyev stated. On July 27, the court adjourned until August 10. The details of the case are collected in the material of the "Caucasian Knot" "Golunov number two": the main thing about the case of Abdulmumin Hajiyev."
