[KavkazUzel] The court in Malgobek remanded Leila Gatagazheva, accused of involvement in Syrian militants, in custody until March 31.
As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, on December 29, 2023, the Malgobek City Court, at the request of the defense, changed the preventive measure for Leila Gatagazheva from detention to house arrest for two months. A representative of the investigation insisted on extending the arrest, saying that if free, Gatagazheva could hide and put pressure on witnesses. On February 1, the court, at the insistence of the prosecutor, transferred Gatagazheva back to the pre-trial detention center. The investigation excluded the article on complicity in terrorist activities from the charges in the case of a native of Ingushetia, Leila Gatagazheva, a young mother of two children. However, Leila remains in the pre-trial detention center despite the arguments of her lawyers, human rights activists reported.
Leila Gatagazheva, born in 2001, is a mother of two children, she was accused of aiding terrorist activities (Part 2 of Article 205.5 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) and participating in an illegal armed formation on the territory of Syria (Part 2 of Article 208 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). Leila's mother took her from Ingushetia to Syria at the age of 12 and married her there when she was 13 years old. She has already served five years in an Iraqi prison on a similar charge of working for Islamic State militants, said the defense, which is seeking to have the criminal case dropped.
The Malgobek City Court, at the request of the investigation, extended the period of detention of a native of Ingushetia, Leila Gatagazheva, accused of participating in an illegal armed group in Syria. Gatagazheva will remain in custody until at least March 31, the Memorial Human Rights Center reported today on its website.
By 17.33 Moscow time, the court’s website does not contain information about the extension of Gatagazheva’s arrest.
