After visiting her husband in Syria, Dagestani woman accused of links with IS*
After falling under her husband's influence, a mother of many children from Makhachkala went to Syria, where she joined the ranks of the "Islamic State" (IS)*, investigators believe. Her defence treats these allegations as unjustified.
Investigators accuse the woman of involvement in the IS*, a terrorist organization banned in Russia by the court. According to their data, she went to Syria under her husband's influence. Now she is under arrest and a threat of up to 20 years in prison.
The defence treats the investigators' allegations as unjustified. "She had no intentions to take part in any groupings or take up arms. Also, the investigator's statement that the woman had a goal in Syria to counter the interests of the Russian Federation defies any logical explanation," the complaint against her arrest states, as the "Kavkaz.Realii"** project reports.
The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that in December 2022, the court sentenced Bulat Gamzatov, a native of Makhachkala, to 15.5 years in prison, after finding him to be the organizer of a cell of a terrorist organization, whose members had planned attacks on law enforcers in Stavropol.
