A meeting of the National Anti-Terrorism Committee was held in Moscow, dedicated to countering the spread of terrorist ideology, neo-Nazism, and religious extremism in the North Caucasus Federal District.

Inver Siyukhov, a 51-year-old resident of Adygea, was released after four years in a pre-trial detention center. He was found guilty of participating in the religious Christian organization Jehovah's Witnesses, recognized as extremist in the Russian Federation.
In March 2024, Inver Siyukhov was sentenced to six years. He spent four years in a detention center, where the term of punishment is counted according to the principle of a day for a day and a half in the colony. Indoors, Siyukhov was forced to wear a cap because of the constant cold.
In 2017, at the request of the Russian Orthodox Church, the Jehovah's Witnesses organization was banned in the Russian Federation. Many of its participants were prosecuted and sentenced to real and conditional terms.
