[KavkazUzel] The court sentenced a resident of the Kizilyurt district to six years in prison, recognizing her as a member of the Islamic State* militant group.
As the "Caucasian Knot" reported , in March 2022, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Dagestan reported that in 2021, 217 criminal cases were opened against residents of the republic who went to Syria to participate in illegal armed groups. 114 people were put on the international wanted list, 23 were detained after returning. Among those wanted were those who went to Syria back in 2013-2016.
The Kizilyurt District Court found a local resident guilty of participating in an illegal armed group, the united press service of the courts of general jurisdiction of Dagestan reported today on its Telegram channel.
According to the court, in October 2014, the woman and her young children traveled to Syria via Turkey and arrived with her husband in the city of Raqqa, where she “joined an illegal armed group that is a structural division of the Islamic State organization."
"Her participation in the organization consisted of ensuring the activities of the formation by performing the household duties assigned to her such as cooking, repairing clothes, etc.," the publication says.
The court sentenced the woman to six years of imprisonment with a year of restricted freedom. "The defendant's actual sentence has been suspended until her youngest child reaches the age of fourteen," the statement said.
Let us recall that in 2020, 63-year-old Patimat Ramazanova from Kizilyurt was accused of participating in the activities of a terrorist organization and placed in a pretrial detention center, despite health problems. The woman went to Syria to help her daughter and three granddaughters return to Dagestan. "She considers herself innocent, this elderly woman did not take part in any terrorist organizations," her lawyer told the "Caucasian Knot" at the time.
In June 2021, participants in a seminar in Moscow noted that, although the authorities recognize the need to return the wives and children of militants from Syria, including those from the North Caucasus, the problems of their rehabilitation and social adaptation remain pressing.
