A resident of Dagestan was awarded compensation for illegal detention during a picket

According to a court decision, the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Dagestan must pay 20 thousand rubles to lawyer Marat Ismailov. The police illegally detained him because he approached a picket participant on the street.

On January 24, 2022, Marat Ismailov passed a single picket in Makhachkala in support of political prisoner-journalist Abdulmumin Gadzhiev. He tried to say hello at the picket site to the founder of the Chernovik newspaper, Magdi Kamalov, and for this he was taken to the police department. The security forces detained Ismailov for more than two hours and demanded written explanations from him, which the court declared illegal.
