Caucasus/Russia/Central Asia
Two members of Basayev's gang were sentenced to 21 and 24 years in prison
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The Southern District Military Court sentenced two members of Shamil Basayev's gang,
…Shamil Salmanovich Basayev, also known as Emir Abdullah Shamil Abu-Idrisand by his kunya, “Abu Idris” (1965-2006). Basayev was a Chechen warlord in the post-Soviet Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, which after his death became the Al Qaeda-linked Caucasus Emirate. In 2015 most of the hard boys changed their allegiance to the local Islamic State affiliate, Vilayat Kavkaz, whereupon a majority chose to escape the Spetsnaz hunting them by making hijra to the caliphate in Syria — those that survived the reconquest and the SDF prison camps are about to become the property of the HTS government of Syria, which will be educational, one way or another. Some of Basayev’s projects were the 2004 Beslan school siege and the 2002 Moscow theater hostage crisis (the Nord-Ost siege)…
Vakhit Khamzatkhanov and Takhir Begeldiev (both are included in the Russian Federation's list of terrorists and extremists), to 21 and 24 years in a strict regime penal colony for participating in an attack on Russian servicemen in Chechnya in 1999. The court hearing was held on June 25.

The investigation established that the convicted men joined the gang of Basayev and Amir Khattab in 1999. In October, as part of a detachment of about 400 militants, they ambushed Russian fighters in the village of Chervlennaya in the Shelkovsky district. In the shootout, 15 Russian soldiers were killed and another 28 were wounded.

Begeldiev and Khamzatkhanov were found guilty under Article 317 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation "Encroachment on the life of a law enforcement officer or military serviceman." Cases were also brought against them under Article 209 ("Banditry") and Article 279 ("Armed rebellion"), but they were dropped due to the expiration of the statute of limitations.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, in May the FSB published a video of the arrest of four members of the Basayev and Khattab gang, involved in attacks on Russian servicemen in 1999-2000. The operations took place in Stavropol Krai, Ingushetia, Dagestan and Astrakhan Oblast. The detainees were also in an ambush in the village of Chervlennaya. In addition, they participated in a battle with Pskov paratroopers near the village of Ulus-Kert in February 2000.

In October 2024, security forces detained three members of the Basayev and Khattab gang in Dagestan, Karachay-Cherkessia and the Volgograd region. They participated in the militants' attack on the Pskov paratroopers.

Europe
12 arrested in France over syringe attacks
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Over the past weekend, 12 people have already been detained in France in connection with the attack with syringes on women and girls during a music festival. However, the search for the criminals is still ongoing, the British newspaper The Guardian reported. Moreover, at least two suspects have already been released.

Local law enforcement agencies do not rule out that illegal migrants and minors were among the attackers, but they have not made any official statements on this matter.

The Fete de la musique music festival is held annually in France. Last weekend, millions of people took to the streets across the country, with local authorities in Paris reporting “unprecedented crowds.”

Shortly before the festival, feminist influencer Abrej Soer posted a warning on her social media page about an impending attack on women, calling for attention and seeking help if necessary.

As a result, during the festival, 145 people sought help after syringe attacks. Most of them were young women and teenage girls. Many complained of feeling unwell, dizziness, and some even required hospitalization. Some were sent to the hospital for toxicological tests.

It is currently unknown what the attackers' purpose was. It may have been to confuse the victim, make her vulnerable, and rape her. Most of the injections were made in the arm, back, or buttocks, so that the victim would not have the opportunity to see the attacker.

During the festival, more than 370 people were arrested for various offenses. Among them, only 12 were arrested in connection with the case of pricking women with syringes. In particular, two suspects were detained in Metz thanks to CCTV cameras, one of them was a 20-year-old man previously convicted of rape. However, the police were forced to release both: one was in very poor health, and they could not gather enough evidence against the other.

This year's attacks are not the first cases of women being stabbed with syringes in France. In 2022, before a music festival, messages were distributed calling for men and women to be attacked with syringes in clubs, bars, music events and even theatres. As reported by Regnum, in 2022, women filed several hundred complaints about such attacks all over France.

Bodies of five people with their hands tied found at Spanish resort
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum The bodies of five people with their hands and feet tied were found by the Spanish Civil Guard on the beaches of a popular resort on the Balearic Sea. This was reported by the British newspaper Daily Mail.

"Off the coast of Ibiza, members of the Spanish Civil Guard have pulled the remains of at least five people from the water. Police have launched an investigation," the publication on June 23 said.

Local authorities believe the victims were migrants from Algeria who were trying to reach Europe by boat. According to the author of the article, the newcomers are aware of their illegal status, which is why they do not report the abuse.

The publication's source said that over the past six months, about 30 bodies have washed up on the coast of the Balearic Islands, which is why local journalists have nicknamed these beaches "cemetery beaches."
