A resident of Dagestan was convicted of tearing down red flags hung for Victory Day

The Supreme Court of Dagestan sentenced a 19-year-old resident of the Karabudakhkent district to correctional labor for six months. On May 11, 2024, he cut down 15 red flags hung on the streets for Victory Day in the Great Patriotic War with a knife and threw them on the ground.

The young man was found guilty of insulting the memory of the defenders of the Fatherland. In court, he admitted his guilt and said that he repented of his actions.

“In the event of evasion of the appointed punishment, the court has the right to replace it with forced labor or imprisonment,” the department noted.
