Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[KavkazUzel] Security forces detained a resident of Ingushetia, suspected of justifying the actions of members of the terrorist organization "Caucasus Emirate".

Caucasus Emirate used to be linked to Al Qaeda. In 2015 most of the hard boys changed their allegiance to the local Islamic State affiliate, Vilayat Kavkaz, whereupon a majority chose to escape the Russians hunting them by making hijra to the caliphate in Syria. Those who remained behind appear to be getting caught, one by one.

A resident of Ingushetia was detained on suspicion of publicly justifying terrorism, the Ingushetia newspaper reports today with reference to the press service of the republican Ministry of Internal Affairs.

According to security officials, in September 2023, a resident of Ingushetia posted two comments and a video in one of the telegram channels. “They contain, as established by the expert, psychological and linguistic signs of justification of terrorism, namely, justification of the activities of one of the leaders of the terrorist organization “Caucasus Emirate” and its participant,” says a publication on the website of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Ingushetia.

FSB investigators opened a criminal case under Part 2 of Article 205.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The detainee was given a preventive measure in the form of a written undertaking not to leave the place, the report notes.

Part 2 of Article 205.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation provides for from five to seven years of imprisonment.
