A native of Kyrgyzstan was arrested for a comment under a video with the head of Dagestan

In Izhevsk, a native of Kyrgyzstan was sent to a pretrial detention center on charges of calling for terrorism. According to investigators, he called for an attempt on the life of the head of Dagestan on VKontakte.

The prosecution claims that the man arrested in 2022 posted a comment under a video in which the head of Dagestan, Sergei Melikov, criticized the actions in Derbent. There, people in cars called on all men over a loudspeaker to appear at the military registration and enlistment office as part of the mobilization.

“Are you fucking morons? Who authorized them? This is nothing more than the dissemination of fake information,” Melikov said at the time.

A user with the nickname Li-Alibek Alibek posted a comment under the video: “Shoot the damn thing, the devil is sitting there.”
