Shamil Kaziev

A resident of Karachay-Cherkessia. On 6 December 2023, he was detained and then taken into custody on charges of organising activities of an extremist organisation: he was allegedly involved in At-Takfir wal-Hijra (some human rights activists believe that such an organisation does not exist) and weapons possession. In February 2025, an official report was published, stating that Kaziev was sentenced to three years and two months in a general regime colony. Presumably, he was then released in April 2025.
