[KavkazUzel] It is better to transfer criminal cases on acute issues to other regions, said the head of the Human Rights Council, Valery Fadeyev, commenting on the trial in Armavir on the case of riots at the Makhachkala airport. As reported by the "Caucasian Knot", on February 17, relatives of the participants in the riots at the Makhachkala airport appealed to Putin with a request for leniency. They stated that their detained relatives were victims of a provocation and made a mistake. The authors of the appeal noted that some families do not have the opportunity to travel to court hearings in Krasnodar Krai, where the case of the five defendants was transferred. Lawyers noted that the transfer of the case to Kuban can be appealed, but success is unlikely. The Armavir City Court has twice postponed the start of the hearing of the case of the riots at the Makhachkala airport against five defendants - Anvarbek Atayev, Islam Ibragimov, Magomed Omaraskhabov, Rabadan Radzhabov and Salik Ramazanov. The arrest of the accused has been extended until December 30. The head of the Presidential Council for Civil Society and Human Rights (HRC) Valery Fadeyev today announced the advisability of transferring the cases of unrest at the Makhachkala airport to Krasnodar Krai. "I think it is appropriate because people always remain people, there are different interests of political influence. <...> In such complex processes there will always be those who want to warm their hands on them, therefore it is better to transfer such sensitive topics to other regions," TASS quoted him as saying at a press conference in Makhachkala. A total of 134 people are under arrest in the case of riots at the Makhachkala airport, two more are under house arrest, the accused claim that they were at the airport, but did not take part in the riots, said the chairman of the Dagestan Public Monitoring Commission Shamil Khadulaev on June 13. According to him, the case of the five accused was the first to reach the court, the rest of the cases are at the investigation stage or in the prosecutor's office. It is necessary to publicly punish in Dagestan those whose guilt in attacking police officers and damaging airport property has been proven, and being at the airport does not lead to criminal liability, emphasized lawyer Arsen Magomedov. In their opinion, transferring the case to the Krasnodar Territory is illogical, since all the accused are from ordinary families and cannot influence the court. Recall that on October 29, 2023, mass riots occurred at the Makhachkala airport due to the announcement of the arrival of a plane with passengers from Israel. More than 20 people were injured in the riots, including nine police officers. By January 12, administrative cases of more than 900 people accused in connection with the riots had been received by district courts of Dagestan.
