A criminal case on discrediting the Russian Armed Forces was instituted against Teona Kelekhsaeva, a resident of Vladikavkaz, who had earlier been sentenced under the same article to a fine and compulsory treatment by a psychiatrist.
The “Caucasian Knot” has reported that in March 2022, it became known that the Leninsky District Court of Vladikavkaz found Teona Kelekhsaeva guilty under the administrative article on discrediting the Russian Armed Forces.
