The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that Abdulmumin Gadzhiev's colleagues regularly hold single pickets in the center of Makhachkala in support of him, as they consider his criminal case to be political persecution. The picketers are, in particular, the founder of Chernovik Magdy Kamalov, deputy editor-in-chief of the publication Magomed Magomedov and journalist of Novoye Delo Idris Yusupov. On March 13 , Magomedov and Yusupov held two single-person pickets demanding an end to the criminal prosecution of Gadzhiev in Makhachkala . The case of Abdulmumin Gadzhiev is lost against the background of other news, and such pickets remind people  of his fate, Gadzhiev's friends pointed out on February 20 after another series of pickets. On March 13, two pickets were held in Makhachkala in support of Abdulmumin Gadzhiev. The action took place before the next court hearing on his case, which is scheduled for March 16, said journalist Idris Yusupov, one of the picketers. "Everything went smoothly. One picket was held by Magomed Magomedov, deputy editor-in-chief of Chernovik. He stood with a placard: "Freedom to Abdulmumin Hajiyev." I had a picket with a placard: "Freedom to journalism," Yusupov told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent. He noted that police officers approached the protesters and checked their documents. "Usually, the district police officers also drive up and take explanations. This is a standard procedure. But this time the district police officer did not have time to arrive. He later called Magomedov and made an appointment for an explanation. But there was no meeting with me," the journalist explained. There were no new participants at the pickets, he specified. "Abdulmumin's relatives came. They were like observers. On the whole, passers-by were approving. Cars passing by gave signals. No one tried to disrupt the picket," Yusupov said. Without an examination of Abdulmumin Gadzhiev's articles, requested again by the prosecutor, the debate cannot begin, Gadzhiev's lawyer Arsen Shabanov said. "And the examination will probably be ready only by April. The secretary of the court can inform about its readiness in advance. But that's for sure. Perhaps it will become known at the meeting that the expert's conclusion has been received," he explained to the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent. According to Gadzhiev's lawyer, court hearings are postponed only because of the lack of results of the examination. "The case materials have long been presented and announced. All the evidence has been exhausted. We are only waiting for an examination. On March 16, apparently, there may be some procedural issues. But until there is an examination, the judicial investigation is not considered complete, and it is impossible to move on to debate," he said. Shabanov. Tambiev's lawyer Ruslan Nagiyev doubted that a new expert opinion on Hajiyev's articles would be ready by March 16. "There will be procedural questions and motions at the meeting. On our part, about the exclusion of evidence," he shared with the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent. As for the beating and other types of pressure on Tambiev, although there is no conclusion from the forensic medical examination, there is other evidence of this fact, he noted. “From the first days of detention, photographs were taken, including at the trial by journalists, in which Tambiev was captured with bruises, bruises. It is also important that the Dagestan Bar Association recognized gross violations in the work of a lawyer by appointment, who allegedly was during the first interrogations of Tambiev. In fact, it is recognized that these interrogations were conducted without a lawyer. This can be significant for the case," Nagiyev said. Recall that the journalist of the Chernovik newspaper Abdulmumin Gadzhiev, as well as the head of the Ansar charity fund Abubakar Rizvanov and Kemal Tambiev, have been in custody since June 2019 on charges of financing terrorism. Investigators believe that they collected 68 million rubles and 200 thousand dollars for the terrorists under the pretext of building mosques and helping poor Muslims. The investigation connects the defendants with Israil Akhmednabiev, a Dagestan preacher and founder of the Mukhadzhirun Islamic Foundation
