Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.[KavkazUzel] The court sentenced a resident of the Rostov region to ten years in prison, finding him guilty of trying to join the Islamic State* militants in Syria. The Southern District Military Court in Rostov-on-Don sentenced a resident of Kamensk-Shakhtinsky, finding him guilty of attempting to join the Islamic State* terrorist organization banned in Russia. According to the version of the prosecution and the court, the man, under the influence of radical ideas, wanted to get through Turkey to Syria in order to join the militants there. "In August 2021, he went to his associates in Karachay-Cherkessia, after which a few days later he was detained at the Mineralnye Vody airport while trying to fly to Istanbul," Interfax-South quoted the press service of the court on February 2 as saying. The court sentenced him to 10 years in prison with the first three years in prison, the remaining seven in a strict regime colony. In addition, the sentence provides for one year of restriction of liberty. The man was found guilty under articles on involvement in a terrorist organization (205.5 of the Russian Criminal Code) and on participation in an armed conflict or military operations for purposes contrary to the interests of the Russian Federation (Article 208 of the Russian Criminal Code). Under both articles, the Donetsk resident was only charged with preparing for a crime. According to the card file of the Southern District Military Court, the sentence under these articles was handed down to Sergei Semin, whose case has been heard since August 2022. The federal list of terrorists and extremists on the Rosfinmonitoring website includes a 29-year-old native of Kamensk-Shakhtinsky with that name. The "Caucasian Knot" does not yet have any comments from the convict or his lawyer regarding the verdict.
