In Stavropol, an imam was sentenced to 12 years on charges of extremism

The Neftekumsk City Court in Stavropol Krai sentenced Osman Kundugdyev, the former imam of the village of Kok-Bas, to 12 years in a maximum-security penal colony. He was accused of organizing an extremist group.

Investigators allege that Kundugdyev created a cell of an international religious organization banned in Russia in the Neftekumsk District and recruited two other local residents. A criminal case was opened against the organization under Part 1 of Article 282.2 of the Russian Criminal Code, and against his accomplices under Part 2 of Article 282.2 of the Russian Criminal Code.

The convicted man was removed from his post. The court also sentenced each of his accomplices to two years in a minimum-security penal colony.

Prior to the court's decision, Osman Kundugdyev was listed as a terrorist and extremist.
