[KavkazUzel] The Military Court of Appeal refused to mitigate the sentence of Murad Abdullagadzhiev, a resident of Dagestan, who received 11 years in prison for taking the oath of the Islamic State terrorist organization banned in Russia and for participating in its activities.
As the "Caucasian Knot" has reported , on August 12, the Southern District Military Court in Rostov-on-Don sentenced a resident of Dagestan Murad Abdullagadzhiev to 11 years in a strict regime colony, accused of involvement in the activities of the Islamic State terrorist organization.
The defense appealed against the verdict, considering it too harsh. Nevertheless, the collegium of the Military Court of Appeal in the Moscow Region also found Abdullagadzhiev guilty today and left the verdict of the Southern District Military Court unchanged, a court official told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
The "Caucasian Knot" has not yet received any comments from Murad Abdullagadzhiyev and his representatives regarding the decision of the court.
According to the investigation, in February 2020, Abdullagadzhiev, while in the Stavropol Territory, took the oath to the head of the Islamic State international terrorist organization banned in Russia by the court, recording the reading of the oath on his mobile phone and sending this audio message via a messenger to another person for subsequent transmission the head of the IG, and then took part in its activities until the arrest by law enforcement officers on April 2, 2020.
[KavkazUzel] A military court in Rostov-on-Don fined Ruslan Khagabanov, a resident of Kabardino-Balkaria, with a fine of 360,000 rubles, having found him guilty of justifying the terrorist attack.
Investigators charged Ruslan Khagabanov, a 23-year-old native of Nalchik, with publicly justifying terrorism using the Internet, that is, part 2 of Article 205.2 of the Russian Criminal Code, the maximum punishment for which is up to seven years in prison.
"It was established that in 2018 the defendant in Nalchik published a commentary containing the justification of the terrorist act through a page he administers in one of the social networks," the press service of the Southern District Military Court told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent today.
Ruslan Khagabanov was sentenced to a fine of 360,000 rubles. He admitted his guilt, added the press service of the court. The verdict has not entered into legal force and can be appealed by the parties in the Military Court of Appeal.
"Caucasian Knot" has not yet received any comments from Ruslan Khagabanov himself or his representatives regarding the verdict of the court.
The " Caucasian Knot " also reported that in November 2020, a blogger from the Krasnodar Territory, Valery Klimenchenko, was sentenced to four years and a month in prison, accused of justifying a terrorist attack in the Arkhangelsk FSB. In March, a military court of appeal upheld the verdict.
[Rudaw] Iraq on Thursday will bring home a first flight of migrants colonists who want to return from the Belarus-Poland border, the spokesperson to Iraq’s foreign ministry told state media on Sunday.
"Iraq will conduct its first flight for those who are willing to return on the 18th of this month," Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Ahmed al-Sahaf told state media, noting that these returns are voluntary.
Thousands of Iraqis, among them many Kurds, have left their homes this year, taking costly and often dangerous journeys in the hopes of reaching Europe. Many leave the country in search of welfare boodleopportunities free from corruption, political tensions, and instability that have left young people with little hope for their future in Iraq, but they found themselves on the cold border between Belarus and Poland, trapped in a standoff between Minsk and the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... At least 8,000 Kurds have traveled to Belarus with the hopes of gaining access to western Europe, which has fortified itself against the wave of migration and accused Minsk of luring desperate migrants colonists to the border in protest of sanctions.
Iraq’s foreign ministry has registered 571 Iraqi citizens in eight camps along the border, Sahaf said, but "it is not possible to count the full numbers because the border strip extends 680 kilometres and there are some who are reluctant to return."
Dramatic scenes of migrants colonists camped out in the cold on the Belarus-Poland border have made headlines over the past week. Aid agencies say at least 10 migrants colonists have died on the border, AFP reported. On Friday news broke of the death of a 14-year old Kurdish boy.
The United Nations ...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense... , which visited the border last week, said many children and women, some of them pregnant, are among the migrants colonists. "The makeshift camp at the border with no adequate shelter, food, water and medical care in freezing temperatures is not a safe and suitable place for people and could lead to further loss of life," the UN’s refugee agency (UNHCR) said on Friday.
Many migrants colonists say Germany is their preferred destination and the German Minister of State in the Foreign Office Niels Annen spoke with Kurdistan Region Prime Minister Masrour Barzani on Sunday. "We will do everything together so that the [Belarusian President Alexander] Lukashenko regime no longer lures people to the EU borders with false promises," he tweeted after the phone call.
Barzani in a tweet on Sunday said that he is "deeply concerned by the plight of our citizens, as well as the many others on the EU borders" and is working "with our partners to ensure their safety and security."
The prime minister added that the migrants colonists have been "deceived by traffickers; exploited by networks abroad."
[Rudaw] The German foreign office said that the country will not pick up migrants colonists on the Belarus border into Germany in a statement addressing rumors implying otherwise on Sunday.
"Rumours that Germany is planning to send busses to pick up persons from Belarus through Poland to Germany are false. Whoever spreads these lies puts people in great danger," the German Federal Foreign Office said on Twitter.
German Minister of State in the Foreign Office Niels Annen said after a phone call with Kurdistan Region Prime Minister Masrour Barzani that they "will do everything together so that the Lukashenko regime no longer lures people to the EU borders with false promises," referring to Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko.

[SHAFAQ] Many young Assyrians from diaspora are making decision to leave the freedom and comfortable life in the west and are heading to northern Iraq, to help needy Assyrians in the ancestral land
Susan Younan is a young Assyrian whose parents in the early 1980s, fled the discrimination and ill treatment in Iraq and lived in Athens, Greece, in hope of settling in the west.
Suzan was born in Greece. Her family consisting of her father, mother and two sisters were granted permanent visa to Canada. The family lived in Canada for almost eight years. They wanted to be closer to relatives and friends, so they moved to the USA to live there for good.
Suzan grew up in a patriotic family. That's where she inherited the interest and love to her nation from.
On her first visit to the homeland to celebrate Akito festival, Suzan fell in in love with her ancestral land and the Assyrians in northern Iraq. To her, the Kha B’Nisan festival (Assyrian new year) was an eye opener and most wonderful experience in her life. A bond was born with the land. Since then, Suzan was visiting the homeland in every year.
The idea of having young Assyrians born in the diaspora, to visit the homeland, made Suzan with the help of other Assyrian youth, to establish the GISHRU organization.
In this interview, Susan talks about her experience since she decided to work and live in Duhok in northern Iraq and her involvement with different international NGO, to help the needy Assyrians and non-Assyrians in aid and resettlement.

[SHAFAQ] The front man for the Sadiqoun bloc of Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq movement, Mahmoud al-Rubaie, confirmed that there is "enough evidence" proving fraud in the recent parliamentary elections, threatening that they will resort to the UN Security Council.
al-Rubaie told Shafaq News Agency, "The coordinating framework is determined on its position rejecting the electoral fraud, and the Secretary-General of Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq movement, the villainous-looking Qais al-Khazali ......sinister-looking Iranian stooge, Secretary General of Persian proxy militia Asaib Ahl al-Haq, wannabe Nasrallah...... , presented, during his meeting today with the United Nations ...where theory meets practice and practice loses... envoy in Iraq, Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert, a set of evidence that proves electoral fraud."
Al-Rubaie explained that the movement sticks to its position rejecting the election results.
He suggested that the United Nations, "will look into the matter, and in case the results remain as they are, we will present this evidence to higher authorities of the United Nations mission in Iraq and perhaps to the UN Security Council."
"The protests are ongoing... The demonstrators' voices were stolen.. they were also killed by members of the security forces."
[al-Monitor] Until a few weeks ago, he was among the strongest men in Syria — if not the strongest — but Javad Ghaffari’s last battle in the war-torn country was this time with no one other than the ruling elite he came to the country to defend.
"He became a liability," an official Syrian source told al-Monitor on condition of anonymity. "The time has changed, and he still wants to act as per the rules of war, when the war is almost over."

seems to me that 'the war is over' is an overstatement
It is true that fatalities are less than last year and much less than the year before. But still there will be about 3000 killed this year, about half civilians.

[An Nahar] The European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... on Monday imposed sanctions on four ministers recently appointed to the Syrian government, blaming them for playing a role in the continued repression on civilians in the war-torn country.Asset freezes and travel bans in Europa ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... were imposed on the four, who include the ministers for internal trade, information and labor.
The four ministers were accused of sharing "responsibility for the Syrian regime's violent mostly peaceful repression of the civilian population," the EU said.
The new sanctions bring the number of people in Syria targeted by EU measures to 287. A further 70 "entities," including organizations, banks and companies, are also on the blacklist, typically for benefiting from their ties with the regime.
The EU first started imposing the sanctions in 2011. The measures also include a ban on oil imports, investment restrictions, a freeze on central bank assets held in the EU, and export limits on equipment and technology that could be used to crack down on civilians or monitoring their phones and internet.

[An Nahar] Parliament Speaker Nabih Knobby Berri ...Speaker of the Lebanese parliament, head of the Amal Shiite party aligned with Hezbollah, a not very subtle sock puppet of the Medes and Persians... has reportedly called on the political parties to show unity in order to "rescue" the port blast probe as well as President Michel Aoun’s ...president of Leb, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hizbullah... tenure and the whole country.
"Let them vote for the formation of a (parliamentary) panel of inquiry, which would solve 80% of Lebanon Hezbollahstan ...Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. ... ’s current problem, and this is what the parliament speaker told to the Maronite patriarch, who expressed his delight and support," sources close to Berri told al-Joumhouria newspaper in remarks published Monday.
Criticizing investigative judge Tarek Bitar, the sources said the judge must "work according to the law and the constitution, not more and not less."
"The President made an oath to preserve the constitution, whereas the judge who was appointed by them has violated four articles of this constitution," the sources charged.
Bitar "acknowledged the judiciary’s jurisdiction to hold the accused judges accountable, but at the same time he does not want to recognize the powers of parliament," the sources added.

[An Nahar] Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud has urged the Lebanese political class to put an end to Hizbullah ...Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistance and purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory... ’s "hegemony."
Bin Farhan affirmed that KSA is not willing to communicate with the Lebanese government "for the time being."
He added that the political class should take the necessary measures to "liberate Lebanon Hezbollahstan ...In 2020 Hezbollah blew up a considerable portion of Beirut and many of its inhabitants when its ammonium nitrate facility exploded. They blamed it on... somebody else. It wasn't them though. Trust them on that. And it ain't never coming to trial... from Hizbullah and Iran."
For his part, former head of Saudi Intelligence Prince Turki al-Faisal, considered that "what’s happening in Lebanon is sad" and that the Lebanese, including the Shiites, are "paying the price."
"Not all Shiites there want Hizbullah's dominance," al-Faisal said.
He added that the solution is in the "hands of the people of Lebanon," praising the Lebanese October revolution "against the situation and Hizbullah."
Meanwhile, ...back at the hoedown, the fiddler suddenly struck a sour note. The dancing stopped abruptly. Everyone looked at Bob... former Saudi ambassador to Lebanon Abdulaziz Khoja revealed that he had survived "3 liquidation attempts" while working in Lebanon. He did not accuse "any specific party."
He added that he had never imagined the ties to be cut between Saudi Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Fifteen of the nineteen WTC hijackers were Saudis, and most major jihadi commanders were Saudis, to include Osama bin Laden. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman quietly folded that tent in 2016, doing terrible things to the guys running it, and has since been dragging the kingdom into the current century... and Lebanon.
"KSA has helped Lebanon as a neighboring Arab country," Khoja stressed, adding that Saudi Arabia has donated "more than $72 billion to Lebanon since 1990."
"The Lebanese have had enough of Hizbullah’s dominance over Lebanon," he said.

[An Nahar] A "scenario" is being prepared to dismiss port blast lead investigator Judge Tarek Bitar, MTV said.The TV channel learned that to dismiss Bitar, Prime Minister Najib Miqati is relying on two lawsuits against the state filed by ex-PM Hassan Diab and ex-minister Nouhad al-Mashnouq. Tradesies? I'll give you a judge for an information minister. That way the thingy with the Saudis goes away, and the investigation into who blew up the port is shuffled off for another day, probably far down the road.
"The government will return to the political stage once Bitar is dismissed and Information Minister George Kordahi is sacked," MTV added.
Sources close to Miqati told the channel that Miqati "won’t chair a Cabinet session as long as Information Minister George Kordahi will read its decisions."

"Is this how we restore confidence in the Lebanese pound?" Bassil decried.

[ToloNews] The International Organization for Migration (IOM) said that 1,031,757 Afghan refugees have been deported by Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites.... this year.
According to the organization, 28,000 Afghan refugees were returned in only the last week of October.
IOM said in a statement that the increasing number of deportations was leading Afghanistan toward more challenges.
"The majority were deported, returning to Afghanistan often broke and broken, in need of health support, food and rest," said IOM director general Antonio Vitorino. "The task of reuniting with family and reintegrating into communities — especially for those who have been in Iran or Pakistain for years — is tremendously difficult considering the high levels of unemployment and food insecurity," Vitorino added.
Iran’s special envoy to Afghanistan, Hassan Kazemi Qomi, said that Tehran was a "good host for Afghan refugees," but it doesn’t have the capacity to host more refugees.
"Due to the rapid political changes, a massive wave of Afghan refugees came to our borders. We should make a program to prevent these migrations. We should seek a resolution," said Qomi.
The Islamic Emirate earlier called on the international community to help with Afghanistan’s economy in order to prevent another wave of illegal migrants colonists to foreign countries.
Human Rights Watch (HRW) in a report expressed concerns over the problems of Afghan refugees on the borders of neighboring and European countries.
"The Iranian government took some steps towards our citizens which are clearly in contrast with the UN international convention," said Lala Gul Lal, head of the HRW on Monday. "We strongly condemn the remarks of the Iran government and call on the UN to prevent Iran’s actions against migrants colonists."
This comes as the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) provided cash for at least 5,000 war- and drought-displaced families in the west of Afghanistan.
The UN organization provided each of the families with 265 dollars in cash.
The officials within the provincial refugee department said that the aid would help the displaced families to return to their permanent residences.
