The courts of Dagestan began to publish the first decisions in cases against participants in the riots at the Makhachkala airport. Most of the cases were filed under articles of petty hooliganism and “obstructing transport infrastructure.” Basically, the rioters received several days of arrest for swearing in the street.
Thus, the decisions of the Sovetsky District Court of Makhachkala, which examined cases against 15 people, indicate that the participants in the pogroms used obscene language and behaved aggressively. Earlier, the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the North Caucasus Federal District reported 83 detainees.
On October 29, in Makhachkala, local residents broke into the airport runway after the arrival of a flight from Tel Aviv. They were reported to be looking for Israeli citizens who had flown in as part of a response to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
