Khezir Beregetov

Resident of Karachay-Cherkessia, a freeride guide (mountain skiing). On 6 December 2023, he was detained and then taken into custody on charges of participation in the activities of an extremist organisation due to his alleged involvement in At-Taqfir wal-Hijra. Some human rights activists believe that no such organisation exists. In February 2025, an official report was published, according to which Beregetov was sentenced to two years in a general regime colony. Presumably, he was released in April 2025.
