An Uzbek citizen was sentenced to 20 years in prison for planning to blow up the Stavropol government building

Uzbek citizen Zhavokhir Utkirov was sentenced to 20 years in a maximum-security penal colony for plotting an attack on the Stavropol Krai government building. The ruling was handed down by the Southern District Military Court.

According to the official version, Utkirov, who allegedly joined the Islamic State in early 2023, arrived in Russia to find a target for a terrorist attack. The Stavropol government building was allegedly chosen.

Investigators claim that Utkirov manufactured explosives and hid them. He was arrested two days later. The court also charged him with belonging to a terrorist organization and illegal trafficking of explosives. In addition to the 20-year sentence, which will begin with five years in prison, Utkirov was fined one million rubles. The statement did not provide details of the evidence or the defendant's position.
