[KavkazUzel] A military court in Rostov-on-Don found a Stavropol resident involved in a terrorist organization, sentencing him to 10 years and six months in prison, the FSB reported. The Southern District Military Court in Rostov-on-Don sentenced a resident of Stavropol for participation in the activities of a terrorist organization, the Stavropol Territory State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company reported today with reference to the press service of the Russian Federal Security Service for the Stavropol Territory. According to the investigation and the court, in 2023 the man voluntarily became a supporter of the international terrorist organization "Islamic State," banned in the Russian Federation. In the future, he planned to commit crimes on her behalf, but was detained. The court found the Stavropol resident guilty and sentenced him to ten and a half years in prison. He will spend the first two years in prison, and the remaining term in a maximum security colony, the report states. The "Caucasian Knot" also reported that in February, a military court in Rostov-on-Don sentenced two residents of Pyatigorsk to 12 and 12 and a half years in prison, who, according to the investigation and the court, participated in the activities of the "Islamic State" and intended to blow up building of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Analysts interviewed by the Caucasian Knot, commenting on regular reports on the prevention of terrorist attacks, suggested that intelligence services are motivated to disseminate falsified reports about the detention of alleged terrorists in the Stavropol region to improve reporting  and for propaganda purposes. The likely purpose of such propaganda may be to warn about the consequences of participation in radical organizations. |
