A resident of Dagestan is suspected of justifying terrorism.

The publication of an audio recording on a personal social media page resulted in a criminal prosecution for a Dagestani resident under the article on the promotion of terrorism on the internet.

The article on public justification of terrorism on the internet (Part 2 of Article 205.2 of the Russian Criminal Code) carries a sentence of five to seven years in prison.

The case against the Dagestani resident was opened by the department for the investigation of especially important cases of the republic's Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation. According to investigators, the suspect published some audio material on his personal internet page.

Investigators found "statements justifying terrorist activity" in the recording. The material was accessible to an unlimited number of online users, according to the official Telegram channel of the Investigative Committee of Dagestan.

The department noted that the investigation is ongoing, but did not specify whether the suspect had been detained or whether a preventive measure had been chosen for him. The official statement also omitted the suspect's personal information, such as age, occupation, or specific location.

"Caucasian Knot" reported that in December 2025, the Southern District Military Court in Rostov-on-Don sentenced Dagestani native Omar Ismailov to four years in prison, finding him guilty of promoting terrorism.
