The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on May 18, it was announced that the trial of the case against Abdulmumin Gadzhiev,
Dagestani journalist Abdulmumin Gadzhiev, as well as the head of the Ansar charity fund Abubakar Rizvanov and Kemal Tambiev, have been taken into custody since June 2019 on charges of financing terrorism. Investigators believe they collected 68 million rubles and $200,000 for the terrorists under the pretext of building mosques and helping poor Muslims. The investigation connects the defendants with the Dagestan preacher and founder of the Mukhadzhirun Islamic Foundation, Israil Akhmednabiev, known as Abu Umar Sasitlinsky. The defendants plead not guilty. The details of the case are collected in the material of the "Caucasian Knot" "Golunov number two": the main thing about the case of Abdulmumin Hajiyev." At today's meeting in the Southern District Military Court, the prosecutor demanded that each of the defendants be sentenced to 19 years in prison, Chernovik reported today. "In his opinion, we deserve such a punishment, because our participation in the activities of the terrorist organizations ISIS *, the Congress of the Peoples of Ichkeria and Dagestan *, the Supreme Military Majlisul Shura of the United Forces of the Mujahideen of the Caucasus" * was fully proved in court, and it was also proved organization of their financing by us," the words of Abdulmumin Gadzhiev are quoted in the publication in the Telegram channel. According to him, he is charged with publishing articles in Chernovik and transferring 16,000 rubles to an ISIS representative. “It was as if there were no three examinations of my articles, none of which revealed anything illegal in them, much less related to terrorism. these articles are missing. As if the state prosecutor did not notice that his secret witness, who allegedly claimed about my transfer to ISIS, did not appear in court, and not a single evidence for this transfer was heard in court.Just like the interview with the head of the travel agency did not notice , who actually received these 16 thousand from me for the sold plane ticket," Hajiyev emphasized. Colleagues of Chernovik editor Abdulmumin Gadzhiev consider his case an act of political persecution and regularly hold solo pickets in his support in the center of Makhachkala. The examination emphasized the groundlessness of the accusations of the Dagestani journalist Abdulmumin Gadzhiev, which may affect the court's decision, suggested, in particular, the Dagestani journalist Idris Yusupov. | ||
