[KavkazUzel] The court sentenced Imam Gadzhimuradov, a native of the village of Novogagatli, to three years in prison, finding him guilty of attempting to travel to Syria to join the militants of the Islamic State*. According to investigators, in January 2023, 26-year-old Imam Gadzhimuradov, a native of the village of Novogagatli in the Khasavyurt district of Dagestan, checked in at the airport for a flight to the territory controlled by the Islamic State, an international terrorist organization banned in Russia by the court. A border control officer later told the investigator that Gadzhimuradov's appearance and behavior indicated his possible involvement with terrorists. Gadzhimuradov was detained at the airport. He later told the investigator that at the last moment he refused to board the flight and decided to return home. He specified that he planned to go to Syria. The Southern District Military Court found Gadzhimuradov guilty of attempting to participate in an illegal armed group and sentenced him to three years in prison. Gadzhimuradov's defense appealed the sentence, but the Supreme Court of Russia upheld it, according to the case file published on the court's website. There were no comments from representatives of Imam Gadzhimuradov. |
