A court in Dagestan sided with local resident Rasul Batyrov and excluded him from the preventive registration lists of the Ministry of Internal Affairs under the category of "extremist". The man emphasized that he had never been brought to administrative or criminal liability, and that he was put on the preventive register since 2021 to improve statistics and because he is a practicing Muslim.

Rasul Batyrov also noted in court that being on the list of potential "extremists" prevented him from getting a job. At the same time, he was never called in for a conversation with the police, and Batyrov learned about being put on the register only after he was stopped by traffic police officers.

In Dagestan, citizens are most often put on the preventive register under the category of "religious extremism", as well as for participating in protest pickets and rallies. Thus, during the rallies against military mobilization that took place in Makhachkala and other cities on September 25-26, 2022, security forces detained protesters en masse. About 400 people were taken to police stations. Then citizens began to learn that they were put on preventive registration. Many were subjected to various "preventive measures": checks at regional borders, surveys, house searches, DNA and fingerprint samples, and so on.
