Imam Magomedov sentenced to five years in prison

The North-Caucasian District Military Court has found the Dagestani Imam Magomednabi Magomedov guilty of inciting terrorism.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that the state prosecutor demanded to sentence Magomedov to five years in a colony-settlement. The Imam's case has been considered by the North-Caucasian District Military Court in Rostov-on-Don since August 19.

Today, the session of the court has sentenced the Imam Magomednabi Magomedov to five years of imprisonment in a general-security, the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent reports from the courtroom.

Magomednabi Magomedov was detained on April 8, after he came to the ROVD (District Interior Division) and demanded to release earlier detained parishioners of his mosque. The Imam was charged under Part 1, Article 205.2 (public calls to terrorism or justification thereof), and Part 1, Article 282 of the Russian Criminal Code (excitation of hate or enmity). According to investigators, in February 2016 the Imam "gave a speech at the mosque containing the public justification of terrorism." However, the believers told the "Caucasian Knot" that the speech was on the peaceful ways of defending Salafis' rights.

Earlier, the Imam's advocate said that he saw traces of beatings on his body. The Human Rights Centre (HRC) "Memorial" recognized Imam Magomedov as a political prisoner.
