Security forces searched the home of a Dagestani journalist

In Makhachkala, security forces came to search the house of journalist Idris Yusupov. His relative reported this.

Idris Yusupov regularly holds pickets in support of his colleagues. In particular, he demands the release of political prisoner Abdulmumin Gadzhiev, sentenced to 17 years in prison. The editor of the “Religion” section of the Dagestan newspaper “Chernovik” was tried under articles about “participation in the activities of terrorist organizations” and “financing terrorism.”

In addition, Yusupov opposed the mobilization of the residents of Dagestan to the “NWO”. He was detained by the police several times. Recently, the Sovetsky District Court of Makhachkala refused to satisfy the journalist’s claim against the Ministry of Internal Affairs for illegal detention.
