Another 13 participants in the pogrom at the Makhachkala airport received long sentences

A court in Stavropol considered the criminal case of Dagestan residents Zaynalabid Cheriyev, Islam Umarov, Abdulamid Magomedov, Ibragim Shakhmanov, Yusup Rabadanov, Magomed Mamayev, Magomedmukhtar Ismailov, Kurbanismail Magomedov, Akhmedrasul Isabudinov, Yusup Ikhakov, Shamil Gyulmagomedov, Magomedmurad Magomedov and Mukhamat Asadov. They were sentenced to terms of 7 to 10 years.

According to investigators, these individuals participated in anti-Semitic riots at the Uytash airport in Makhachkala after the arrival of a plane from Israel. The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Dagestan reported that 1,500 people took part in the pogrom, and criminal cases were opened against 142. Earlier, about 70 people had already received real terms in the "airport case".

Human rights activists pointed out the bias of the trial: among the accused could have been those who did not participate in the storming of the airport. Relatives of many of the defendants said that they considered the sentences too harsh and unfair.

Recall that on October 29, 2023, hundreds of people broke into the Makhachkala airport, trying to find passengers on a transit flight from Tel Aviv. Those gathered spoke out against Israel's actions in Palestine.
