Caucasus/Russia/Central Asia
Ingushetia resident fined 40,000 rubles in terror case
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[KvkazUzel] A military court in Rostov-on-Don today sentenced a resident of Ingushetia Akhmed Izmailov to a fine of 40,000 rubles, having found him guilty of justifying the activities of the Islamic State *.

19-year-old native of Nazran, Akhmed Izmailov, was accused of publicly justifying terrorism using the Internet (part 2 of Article 205.2 of the Criminal Code of Russia). The maximum penalty under this article is up to seven years in prison.

"It has been established that on February 19, 2020, in the village of Ekazhevo, Nazran district of Ingushetia, Izmailov, using a mobile phone, distributed a video on a social network containing a positive assessment of the activities of members of the banned international organization Islamic State," the press service told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent court. 

Izmailov was found guilty. He was sentenced to a fine of 40,000 rubles. He admitted his guilt. The verdict has not entered into legal force and can be appealed by the parties in the Military Court of Appeal, said a spokesman. 

"Caucasian Knot" has not yet received any comments from Akhmed Izmailov or his official representatives regarding the verdict of the court.

The "Caucasian Knot" also wrote that the Southern District Military Court in December 2020 found a native of Nazran, Magomed Archakov, guilty of promoting terrorism among Internet users and sentenced him to three years in prison. In accordance with the verdict, he twice posted videos calling for terrorist activities on the network.

Europe
Austria jails Syrian for vandalizing synagogue, threatening Jewish leader
The report of the arrest can be seen here. Oddly, the anonymous Syrian was reported last year to be 26.
[IsraelTimes] Man, who court rules is psychologically disturbed, given 3-year prison term over antisemitic attacks in city of Graz.

An Austrian court on Thursday handed a 32-year-old Syrian a three-year jail term for vandalizing a synagogue and other antisemitic attacks.

The court in the southeastern city of Graz placed him in a care institution after finding the man, who committed the offenses in August 2020, to be psychologically disturbed, a spokesperson told AFP.

He was arrested after he threw stones and scrawled pro-Paleostinian slogans on the town synagogue before threatening the head of the local Jewish community, and also damaged a local facility used by an LGBT group.

In court, the man said he regretted actions that the prosecutor said were motivated by "hatred of Jews, homosexuals and hookers," the APA news agency reported.

At the time of the arrest, Austrian President Alexander Van der Bellen stressed antisemitism had no place in a country whose 192,000-strong pre-war Jewish population was decimated during the Holocaust under Nazi rule.

The country registered 585 antisemitic acts last year alone, according to Vienna’s Jewish IKG community association.

Graz’s synagogue was notably destroyed in the 1938 anti-Jewish Kristallnacht — or the Night of Broken Glass — pogrom. A new one was built in 2000.

India-Pakistan
All in a day: Four terrorists responsible for migrant worker killings in J&K gunned down Thursday
[OneIndia] Sending out a strong message against civilian killings in Jammu and Kashmir
...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....
, the security agencies have bumped off four gunnies in two separate encounters.

These gunnies were responsible for the killing of migrant workers, the police said. In the shootout at Shopian two gunnies and a Sepoy Karanveer Singh were killed. In another encounter at Kulgam, two bad boyz were potted.

The gunnies killed in Shopian were behind the killing of a carpenter from Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh.

The two gunnies killed in Kulgam were responsible for the killing of two labourers from Bihar.

Last week a Lashkar-e-Tayiba commander and a top terrorist in Jammu and Kashmir, Umar Mushtaq Khanday involved in the killing of two police man was bumped off.

Another terrorist Suhail also was killed by the police. The two bad boyz were potted in Drangbal, Pampore. The Jammu and Kashmir police said that the force is committed to hunt down these gunnies who try to create fear among the masses and spread mischief and tumult in the Valley. Such elements and their names should be excised from society the police also said.

The police had said that Khanday a top Lashkar-e-Tayiba commander has been trapped during an operation in Pulwama. He was named among the top ten gunnies by the police along with Salim Parray, Yousuf Kantroo, Abbas Sheikh, Reyaz Shetergund, Farooq Nali, Zubair Wani and Ashraf Molvi, Saqib Manzoor and Wakeel Shah.

Three Pakistani police killed in clashes with banned Islamists
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Three Pak police were killed in festivities on Friday with demonstrators from a banned Islamist group who rallied to demand the release of their leader and the expulsion of the French ambassador over cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed.The officers were hit by a vehicle which drove at police as thousands of activists from the Tehrik-e-Labaik Pakistain (TLP) movement gathered in the eastern city of Lahore for a march on the capital Islamabad.

Police fired teargas after TLP supporters attacked a security checkpoint, during festivities across the city, police front man Arif Rana said.

"They had assured us that they would remain peaceful but they turned violent mostly peaceful," he said.

TLP media coordinator Saddam Bukhari said police attacked a peaceful rally but Punjab
1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots....

Chief Minister Usman Buzdar, who confirmed the deaths of the officers, condemned the demonstrators. "No one can be allowed to take the law into their own hands," he said.

The protests, over a series of caricatures published in the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo
...A lefty French satirical magazine, home of what may well be the majority if the active testicles left in Europe...
last year, follow serious festivities in April in which at least five police and three activists were killed and hundreds maimed.

Following the April festivities in which TLP activists blocked highways, railways and access routes to cities and battled police, the authorities arrested their leader, Saad Hussain Rizvi and banned the group.

Rizvi has been in detention since his arrest and the government has designated TLP as a terrorist movement.

Authorities had been trying to negotiate with the group, which rallied its supporters outside its Lahore headquarters for the last two days, but the negotiations broke down and the group called on supporters from around Pakistain to converge on the capital Islamabad.

The main arteries to and from Lahore and Islamabad were blocked with shipping containers to prevent demonstrators entering the city. The diplomatic enclave in Islamabad, where most foreign embassies are located, was also blocked off.

Nearly 1,000 police were maimed in the April festivities, which were halted only after government announced a parliamentary vote on expelling the French ambassador over the publication of caricatures of the Prophet Mohammad by the Gay Paree-based satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.

The magazine first published the cartoons in 2006, outraging millions of Moslems who considered them deeply insulting. It republished them last year to mark the opening of a trial over a deadly attack on the magazine by Islamist Lions of Islam in 2015.

Three kops die in northeast Pakistan

[REGNUM] At least three police officers were killed in clashes with rioters in the Pakistani city of Lahore in the northeastern Punjab province, Dawn newspaper reported Oct. 22, citing city police.

Several more law enforcement officers were injured. Some of them were hospitalized. In addition, 500 protesters were injured during the confrontation. At least 15 demonstrators are in serious condition.

Several thousand supporters of the banned radical Islamic organization Tehreek-e-Lubbike Pakistan (TLP) gathered at a protest in different districts of Lahore. They were on their way to Islamabad to take part in an anti-government march.

The police tried to block the procession, but they started pelting them with sticks and stones, as well as Molotov cocktails. The police used tear gas to disperse the protesters. Chief Minister of Punjab Usman Buzdar expressed condolences to the families and friends of the victims. In addition, he ordered strict measures to be taken against the offenders who provoked the riots.
Deutsche Welle adds background:
TLP has a long history of elaborate protests and sit-ins to try and get successive governments to give in to their demands. Six coppers were killed in April when the TLP staged days of rallies that paralyzed roads.

For the past several years, their political campaigning has focused on supporting Pakistain's controversial blasphemy
...the act of insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence to a deity, or sacred objects, or toward something considered sacred or inviolable. Some religions consider it to be a crime. In Pakistain you can commit blasphemy by looking cross-eyed at a Koran...
law that calls for anyone who publicly insults Islam to be put to death.

The deadly festivities came at a time when support for Prime Minister Imran Khan
...aka The Great Khan, who ain't the brightest knife in the national drawer...
is plummeting amid rising food and fuel prices and the ongoing coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
pandemic. Khan was visiting Lahore on Friday when the protest began.
