In Pyatigorsk, men who danced lezginka on the day of the terrorist attack were detained

In Pyatigorsk, Stavropol Territory, young people were detained for performing a lezginka on the street. A video of the dancing was published by the mayor of Pyatigorsk, Dmitry Voroshilov.

“What were these... happy about? Deaths of children, police officers, civilians? They were detained by police officers, traditionally apologized on camera and will probably suffer administrative punishment. I hope law enforcement will consider criminal charges. Permissiveness and lawlessness must be punished harshly,” Voroshilov wrote, expressing his dissatisfaction with the fact that the dances took place on the day of the terrorist attacks in Dagestan.

On the evening of June 23, militants attacked Orthodox churches and synagogues in Derbent and Makhachkala. According to the latest data, 24 people were killed as a result of the terrorist attacks, including 16 police officers, 4 civilians, including a priest, and 5 attackers.
