[KavkazUzel] Elders and clergy are involved in preventive conversations with the relatives of participants in the riots at the Makhachkala airport, the administration of the Levashinsky district reported. The court held five residents of the area accountable for participating in the protest at the airport; two received arrest and three received fines. The "Caucasian Knot" wrote that the courts of Dagestan received 901 administrative cases of offenses during the anti-Semitic action and riots in Makhachkala. On October 29, 2023, 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. What happened at Uytash airport and how the investigation is proceeding is described in the Caucasian Knot report “ The Case of the Pogrom at Makhachkala Airport.” Among the participants in the riots at the Makhachkala airport “there were also people from the Levashinsky district, against whom administrative measures have already been applied,” the district administration reported today on its Telegram channel. To prevent this from happening in the future, the district administration, “in cooperation with the clergy and the most authoritative elders among the population,” organized preventive work in the form of conversations with relatives of a participant in an unauthorized rally." During the conversations, they spoke about the “unacceptability of antisocial behavior” and the upcoming “administrative and criminal responsibility." District authorities reported on their Telegram channel that such work would be carried out "on an ongoing basis." From November 3 to December 14, 2023, the Levashinsky District Court received six administrative protocols on violation of the established procedure for holding public events with interference with the operation of transport infrastructure (Part 6.1 of Article 20.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation), which provides for a fine of 10,000 to 20,000 rubles, up to 120 hours of compulsory labor or up to 15 days of arrest. Two people were arrested - Khabibula Hasanov for one day, Rasul Aliyev - for two days. Three more people received an administrative fine of 10 thousand rubles each. Another protocol was returned to the security forces due to violations committed during its preparation, as follows from court decisions. By December 13, 2023, about 150 people had been arrested in the criminal case of riots at the airport, one of them was also accused of attacking a security officer. For most of the accused, the arrest period has been extended until the end of March, while almost no investigative actions are being carried out, and several of those arrested are prohibited from visiting. One of those arrested, Gerey Dzhamalutdinov, claims that he was not at the airport, and security forces forced him to incriminate himself, but the investigation has not verified his alibi, said lawyers and a member of the Public Monitoring Commission of Dagestan.
