The released defendants in the case of unrest at Makhachkala airport were arrested again

Four residents of Dagestan, released from pre-trial detention the day before, were again arrested in connection with the riots at the Makhachkala airport. This was announced by the Chairman of the Public Monitoring Commission of the Republic Shamil Khadulaev.

According to him, they managed to spend half a day in freedom due to mistakes made by the investigation and the court, which did not extend the arrest in a timely manner.

Earlier, the Fifth Court of Cassation changed the territorial jurisdiction for those accused of anti-Semitic riots. They will be tried in the Stavropol and Krasnodar territories. The cases of 52 defendants were transferred to the courts of the Stavropol Territory for consideration. Before this, it became known that at least five more defendants were being tried in Armavir, Krasnodar Territory - they were asked for sentences of seven to ten years. According to lawyers, the change in jurisdiction is illegal and violates the constitutional rights of citizens.

At least 130 people are involved in the case of mass riots at the Makhachkala airport.

Let us recall that on October 29, 2023, hundreds of people broke into Makhachkala airport, trying to find passengers on a transit flight from Tel Aviv. Those gathered opposed Israel's actions in Palestine.
