Most of the participants in the riots at Makhachkala airport were awarded fines and administrative arrests

Over 150 cases have been sent to the courts of Dagestan under the article on violation of the procedure for holding public events. We are talking about participants in anti-Israeli riots at Makhachkala International Airport.

A minority of the materials were submitted to the courts under articles of hooliganism and disobedience to the legal demands of police officers. At the meetings, the majority of participants did not admit their guilt and said that they accidentally ended up at the airport. They were sentenced to a fine of 10 thousand rubles or more to arrest for 10 days. The remaining residents of Dagestan brought to administrative responsibility admitted that they came to participate in the protest to express solidarity with the people of Palestine.

On October 29, local residents broke into the runway of Makhachkala airport after the arrival of a flight from Tel Aviv. They were reported to be looking for Israeli citizens who had flown in as part of a response to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
