A Novorossiysk resident has been arrested in connection with a case of justifying terrorism.

A social media comment has led to the criminal prosecution of a Novorossiysk resident; the man has been remanded in custody pending trial.

According to investigators, in August 2023, the man, while in Novorossiysk, posted a comment on a video hosting site through his account. Law enforcement officials interpreted the comment as support for and justification of the activities of a terrorist organization banned in Russia.

The man has been charged with public justification of terrorism committed via the internet. At the request of the investigation, the citizen has been remanded in custody.

Investigators continue to establish the circumstances of the incident and gather evidence, the Investigative Committee of the Krasnodar Territory reported today on its Telegram channel. The agency's statement did not provide the accused's personal information, nor did it specify which banned organization was being referred to.

"Caucasian Knot" also reported that a Sochi resident was accused of justifying the terrorist attack at Crocus. The case was prompted by a post the woman published on her social media page on March 28.
