[KavkazUzel] A court in Strasbourg sentenced a native of Chechnya to 15 months in prison, finding him guilty of promoting terrorism due to videos and songs of the Islamic State* published on TikTok.

A 19-year-old Russian of Chechen origin was convicted in Strasbourg for promoting terrorism on the social network TikTok.

The young man was arrested this week and immediately appeared in court. According to investigators, for several months he broadcast videos and war songs of the Islamic State* on TikTok, including a video glorifying the terrorist attacks that occurred in Paris and Brussels, the French publication Le Figaro writes on December 22.

In court, the man admitted that he broadcast the relevant videos, but denied religious radicalization. It is noted that his channel had about a thousand subscribers as of November, but already in December their number doubled.

The court found the young man guilty of promoting terrorism and sentenced him to 15 months in prison.

Earlier, the "Caucasian Knot" wrote that in early December a 16-year-old native of Chechnya was arrested in Germany and accused of preparing a terrorist attack together with his acquaintance of Afghan origin.

A court in France in early November sentenced Abdul Hakim Anaev, a native of Chechnya, to 10 years in prison. He was found guilty of inciting the terrorist attack of Khamzat Azimov, who attacked passers-by with a knife in Paris, killing one and injuring four others.

On October 13, a teacher was killed at a school in Arras, France, and two other people were stabbed in the attack. French media named the attacker as 20-year-old Mohamad Mogushkov, a native of Chechnya, whose family came to France from Ingushetia. On October 19, French media reported that Mogushkov was placed under arrest and refused to communicate with investigators; his younger brother and cousin were arrested. Also, according to them, Mogushkov’s father was deported from France for involvement in terrorism and  lives in Georgia.

On October 16, the French Interior Ministry announced that about 60 people, including people from the North Caucasus republics, would be expelled from France after an attack on a school in the city of Arras, the Interior Ministry said. On October 20, French media reported the detention of a 15-year-old native of Chechnya who was standing with a knife near a synagogue in Strasbourg. In his phone, law enforcement officers found threats to open fire at the lyceum with a Kalashnikov assault rifle, and in his browser history - a search for prices for such weapons.
