Man fined for video with symbols of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria

A court in Tula fined local resident Arsen Azizov for a video recording with symbols of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, which is declared terrorist in Russia and banned. The amount was one and a half thousand rubles.

Azizov was found guilty of demonstrating prohibited symbols (Part 1 of Article 20.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses). The man posted the video recording on VKontakte. He admitted his guilt and deleted the post from the page.
