[KavkazUzel] A military court in Rostov-on-Don sentenced a native of the Stavropol Territory, Asadulu Abdulaev, to 18 years of strict regime, recognizing him as a participant in hostilities in the Middle East as part of IS units*. Abdulaev was charged with three counts: undergoing training for the purpose of terrorist activities, participating in the activities of a terrorist organization and participating in an illegal armed group. According to the prosecution, in 2016, Abdulaev joined an illegal armed group as part of the international terrorist organization "Islamic State" and took the oath to its leader. In September-October of the same year, the accused studied at a militant training camp, and after that he participated in battles against Syrian government forces, guarded militant locations and carried out other orders from commanders. The prosecution believes that Asadula Abdulaev left the militants in February 2017 and went to Cairo, where he was hiding from law enforcement agencies. He was detained on August 3, 2023, according to a message from the official Telegram channel of the court dated March 28. The Southern District Military Court, having considered the case, found Abdulaev guilty and sentenced him to 18 years in a maximum security colony. The verdict has not yet entered into legal force. The name of the convicted person appeared on the list of terrorists and extremists maintained by Rosfinmonitoring. According to the list, Abdulaev was born in 1996 in the village of Krasny Manych in the Stavropol region. The "Caucasian Knot" does not yet have any comments from the accused or his lawyer regarding the verdict. |
