A court in Stavropol sentenced five more participants in the riots at the Makhachkala airport to prison terms ranging from eight to nine and a half years. Imam Selimkhanov, Rustam Salavov, Dzhabrail Kairbekov, Magomedali Shanavazov and Abusupiyan Dzhanayev were found guilty under Part 2 of Article 212 of the Criminal Code (participation in mass riots) and Part 3 of Article 263.1 of the Criminal Code (failure to comply with transport security requirements).

According to investigators, these individuals participated in an anti-Semitic pogrom at the Uytash airport in Makhachkala after the arrival of a plane from Israel. The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Dagestan reported that 1,500 people took part in the action, and criminal cases were opened against 142. 84 people have already received real terms in the "airport case".

Human rights activists pointed out the bias of the trial: among the accused could have been those who did not participate in the storming of the airport. Relatives of many of the defendants said that they considered the sentences too harsh and unfair.

Recall that on October 29, 2023, hundreds of people broke into the Makhachkala airport, trying to find passengers on a transit flight from Tel Aviv. The crowd protested against Israel's actions in Palestine.
