[KavkazUzel] Ten protocols under the article on participation in an unauthorized rally, which led to damage, were received by the Khasavyurt court two days after the protests near the hotel. As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, on October 28, hundreds of people gathered at a hotel in Khasavyurt after messages on social networks that there were refugees from Israel in this hotel. The security forces allowed the protesters to verify that among the hotel guests there were only tourists from different regions of Russia, after which the protesters dispersed. From October 26 to 29, mass anti-Semitic actions took place in the cities of three republics of the North Caucasus Federal District. In Cherkessk, protesters demanded that visitors from Israel not be allowed in, and in Nalchik a cultural center was burned. On October 29, mass riots occurred at Makhachkala airport due to reports of the arrival of a plane with passengers from Israel. More than 20 people were injured in the riots, including nine police officers, according to the Caucasian Knot report “Anti-Semitic actions in the North Caucasus: how it happened.” The Khasavyurt court received ten administrative protocols on violation of the procedure for holding public events, which led to harm to human health or property and does not contain criminal actions (Part 6 of Article 20.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation provides for a fine of 150 to 300 thousand rubles or arrest for up to 15 days). The protocols were submitted to the court two days after the action with a demand not to allow refugees from Israel to stay in one of the hotels in the city, the Kavkaz.Realii publication reported today. As follows from the information on the website of the Khasavyurt City Court, protocols were drawn up in relation to Mikail and Israpil Akhmedkhanov, Zurab Aliyev, Ruslan Dzhaparov, Akhmed Sadulayev, Said Gaziev, Salamdin Akhmedov, Eldar Aidamirov and Makhach Davletkaev. All of them came to court on October 30 from 16.33 to 17.29 Moscow time. Dates for consideration have not yet been set, it follows from the case files. The "Caucasian Knot" also wrote that the criminal case about the riots in Makhachkala was transferred to Moscow investigators. Security forces identified more than 150 riot participants, detained 83 of them, conducted 50 searches, the police reported on the evening of October 30. The head of Dagestan, Sergei Melikov, accused the rioters at the Makhachkala airport of trying to split Russian society and violating one of the main adats. Muslims in the North Caucasus reacted sharply to the new escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. In Chechnya, the clergy organizes daily mass prayers in support of Palestine; the Muftiate of Dagestan reported on October 28 that thousands of participants participated in prayers for the Palestinians. Information about who and how in the North Caucasus expressed support for Palestine is collected in the “Caucasian Knot” document “ Actions in support of Palestine in the North Caucasus.” On October 28, the Coordination Center for Muslims of the North Caucasus called anti-Semitic actions unacceptable and called not to regard the opinion of their participants as the opinion of the people. The events at the Makhachkala airport and anti-Semitic actions in Khasavyurt, Cherkessk, and Nalchik are atypical both for the North Caucasus and for Russia as a whole; they threaten interreligious and interethnic harmony in the country, the Russian Jewish Congress said on October 29. The fighting between Israel and the Palestinian Hamas movement began on October 7 with the firing of hundreds of rockets into Israeli territory, including civilian targets and civilians. The Israel Defense Forces responded by launching a military operation against Hamas, after which Israel announced a blockade of the Gaza Strip: supplies of water, food, electricity, medicine, and fuel were suspended. Thousands of people died on both sides. |
