A court in Makhachkala sentenced Rabiul Berkikhanov, a serviceman from Dagestan, to five years and five months in prison. He participated in the war with Ukraine as a volunteer and was forced to leave the war zone a month before the end of the contract to visit his single father suffering from a stroke.

The journalist Yelena Milashina and the lawyer Alexander Nemov, who were attacked in Chechnya yesterday morning, were transported to a hospital in Beslan in the afternoon, and in the evening of the same day they were taken to Moscow by a special plane.

The Moscow City Court issued a decision on the release of a lawyer, a native of Chechnya, Timur Idalov under a ban on certain actions. He will not be able to use the phone and the Internet.

Ulker Gashimova, an activist from Derbent, is being held in pre-trial detention center No. 1 in Makhachkala. It became known that a criminal case was opened against her under a terrorist article due to publications in social networks.

46 deputies of the Parliament of Georgia appealed to Chairman Shalva Papuashvili with a request to allow them to meet with Mikheil Saakashvili.

“Let's figure it out. He instructed the competent services to make every effort to identify the attackers. The authorities started working immediately after the news of the incident,” said Ramzan Kadyrov.

The appeal to the court of appeal turned out to be fruitless for the relatives of eight residents of Dagestan, who were killed in 2016 by security forces in Chechnya. Earlier, the ECtHR ordered the authorities of the Russian Federation to pay the plaintiffs 60,000 euros.

A high-profile event today is the attack and brutal beating in Grozny of journalist Elena Milashina and lawyer Alexander Nemov.

In the North Caucasian multidisciplinary medical center in Beslan, journalist Elena Milashina became ill. At first she herself walked along the corridor of the institution, but then she almost lost consciousness, and she was picked up.

“Everything is good, and it will be even better. The main thing is that my conscience is clear,” Zarema Musayeva said after the verdict was announced.
