Chechen resident sentenced to two years on charges of calling for terrorism

Ramzan Abdurakhmanov, a resident of the Urus-Martan District of Chechnya, was found guilty of inciting terrorism and sentenced to two years in prison. This was reported by a source in the republic's MIA, adding that this is the first case in Chechnya, when a person was convicted of public calls to extremism.

The source told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent that Abdurakhmanov, a 21-year-old resident of the Chechen village of Alkhan-Yurt, was a student of the Islamic madrasa in Grozny; power agents detained him in January. Abdurakhmanov then admitted his guilt, the source has added.

According to investigators, in 2011-2013 Abdurakhmanov systematically called the parishioners of the village mosque to terrorism and attacks on people who do not follow Islam.

"He also showed his peers on his mobile phone shootings of militants' combat actions in Chechnya as well as in various Muslim countries, and preached the ideas of jihad," said a source from the republic's MIA.
