[Regnum] Law enforcement officers detained three residents of Dagestan on suspicion of organizing and participating in international extremist activities. This was reported by the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the North Caucasus Federal District (NCFD). "In the course of implementing operational and investigative measures to identify individuals involved in extremist activities, employees of the Center "E" of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the North Caucasus Federal District, in cooperation with the UFSB of Russia for the Republic of Dagestan, the UFSB of Russia for St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region, and with the forceful support of Russian National Guard fighters, suppressed the illegal activities of three residents of the Republic of Dagestan involved in organizing and participating in an extremist organization," the department's Telegram channel says. According to the agency, those detained between 2018 and 2023 organized the activities of a cell of an international extremist organization banned in Russia, while at the same time carrying out anti-Russian and anti-constitutional activities, and were also engaged in propaganda of the ideology of the organization among the population of the North Caucasus, influencing their religious feelings. In addition, according to law enforcement officials, the suspects recruited people into the extremist cell. It is noted that operational activities took place simultaneously in Dagestan and St. Petersburg. All suspects were detained. Prohibited literature was also seized during the search. A criminal case was opened against the suspects on organizing the activities of an extremist organization (parts 1, 2 of article 282.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). Investigators are clarifying the circumstances of the illegal activity.
