The Military Court of Appeal has upheld the sentences to four residents of the Agul District of Dagestan convicted on charges of involvement in a terrorist community and an illegal armed formation (IAF).
The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on May 31, 2021, the Southern District Military Court in Rostov-on-Don sentenced Ramazan Tagriverdiev, Ramazan Kurbanov, Rakhmatula Magomedov and Gadad Ramazanov, residents of the Agul District of Dagestan, to prison terms from 10 to 18 years at a maximum security colony. The fifth defendant, Ali Aliev, accused of plotting the murder of the head of the Agul District, was acquitted. The Court ignored the defendants' statements that their confessions at the initial investigation were obtained under pressure, their advocates assert.
Quaere: will the defendants file a complaint with the European Court of Human Rights?
