[KavkazUzel] A military court in Rostov-on-Don has sentenced a resident of Stavropol to a long prison term, finding him a participant in the activities of a terrorist organization. At the time of the crime charged to him, convicted citizen Bondarenko was serving a sentence in a penal colony. According to the security forces, the man was in Penal Colony No. 11 in Stavropol Krai in November 2021 and "voluntarily joined the ranks" of a terrorist organization banned in Russia. He then planned to commit crimes on its behalf, Interfax-Yug quotes the regional FSB department as saying. The case of Bondarenko, who was accused of participating in the activities of a terrorist organization (Part 2 of Article 205.5 of the Russian Criminal Code provides for ten to twenty years of imprisonment), was heard by the Southern District Military Court of Rostov-on-Don. A resident of Stavropol has been sentenced to 12 years in a special regime penal colony with the first two years to be served in prison. The sentence has not yet entered into legal force. The "Caucasian Knot" does not yet have any comments from the convicted person or his lawyer regarding the version of the investigation and the court. "Caucasian Knot" wrote that on August 23, in colony No. 19 in Surovikino, four prisoners, declaring themselves supporters of the "Islamic State", took 12 people hostage. Three employees of the colony were killed, another later died in the hospital. The hostage-taking in Surovikino was the second in the Southern Federal District in three months: it was preceded by a similar incident that occurred in mid-June in the Rostov pre-trial detention center, where the attackers declared themselves supporters of the "Islamic State".
