The court has extended the pretrial detention of Shahin Shikhlinsky, the former head of the Azerbaijani diaspora in Yekaterinburg. He will be held in pretrial detention until at least May 31, 2026.
The Magas District Court of Ingushetia imposed a fine of 250 thousand rubles on local resident N. Kh. Tsechoev. He was found guilty under the article on repeated discrediting of the army (Part 1 of Article 280.3 of the Criminal Code).
According to the case materials, Tsechoev repeatedly spoke out on Telegram about “the low level of professionalism of the Russian Armed Forces and its command, ridiculed the poor level of weapons, cowardly and ridiculous actions of the Russian military.”
In March 2022, Tsechoev was fined 30 thousand rubles as part of an administrative case about discrediting the Russian army. The reason then was comments on Telegram with the text “Putin’s Nazis promised a humanitarian corridor from Mariupol, and when the evacuation began, they opened fire on it” and “It can fly into the occupiers from every window! In the photo there is a Molotov crossbow.”
