In Rostov-on-Don, a military court extended the detention of Kazbek Emkuzhev and five other Nalchik residents accused of involvement in a terrorist organization for three months.

Earlier, the accused's father, Aslan Emkuzhev, recorded a video message addressed to the head of the Investigative Committee and the Prosecutor General, in which he described the circumstances of his son's abduction. According to him, 19-year-old Kazbek was forcibly seized near his home, subjected to electric shock, and then brought before an investigator. The trial, which began in January 2025, was repeatedly postponed. According to the father, prosecution witnesses gave contradictory testimony and alleged pressure, which he believes the court ignored.

In addition to Emkuzhev, the case opened in April 2024 also includes Mansur Kamolov, Aslan Makoyev, Ibragim Albogachiyev, Mukhamed Shomakhov, Tamirlan Chipchikov, Ratmir Murachayev, and Temirkan Balkarov. According to investigators, all of them are linked by living in the same neighborhood and frequenting the same computer club. It is alleged that Chipchikov and Kamolov, who adhere to the ideology of the Islamic State (an organization banned in Russia), organized a terrorist group to carry out attacks on security forces and government facilities. Chipchikov and Murachayev were killed during a counterterrorism operation, the circumstances of which were not investigated.
