In North Ossetia, the police were refused to initiate a case of “discrediting” the Russian Armed Forces

The Supreme Court of North Ossetia terminated the administrative case against local resident Eduard Kerashvili, whom security forces accused of discrediting the army. The court actually refused to allow the leadership of the Center for the Investigation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to consider the case due to the lack of corpus delicti.

According to the police, Eduard Kerashvili published a video with Georgian actor Vakhtang Kikabidze, who condemned Russia’s attack on Ukraine.

The Sovetsky District Court of Vladikavkaz dismissed the case, but the Center for Combating Extremism of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for North Ossetia appealed the decision. The Supreme Court of the Republic upheld the lower court's ruling.
