Prosecution is delaying the trial of Abdulmumin Hajiyev

The prosecution repeatedly requested the examination of articles by Dagestan journalist Abdulmumin Hajiyev, which will not be ready before April. As a result, the trial, which has lasted for more than three years, is once again being delayed. 
As noted by the lawyers, these facts do not allow to proceed to the debate. At the same time, the materials of the criminal case on financing of terrorism have long been presented and disclosed. His figures along with Hajiyev are the head of the charity fund "Ansar" Abubakar Rizvanov and entrepreneur Kemal Tambiev.
Earlier experts confirmed the absence in Hajiyev’s articles of propaganda of religious intolerance, supremacy of Sharia and calls to terrorism. The examination also found that there was no indication in the materials submitted by the prosecutor that there was an incentive to transfer funds to a charitable fund and overthrow the authorities. 
The accusation of Abdulmumin Hajiyev was based on two components: the transfer of 16,000 rubles to ISIS (prohibited in the Russian Federation) and the propaganda of terrorism in twenty articles. Neither thesis was confirmed in court. Moreover, none of the prosecution witnesses could provide incriminating information about the journalist.
