"The Wagnerites didn't shoot down planes with a slingshot either." After Prigozhin's pardon, the council of clans appealed to Putin to release Ingush political prisoners.
Representatives of the Council of Teips Ingushetia recorded a video message calling for Fishing season Release seven Ingush public figures and activists arrested in 2019 for participating in mass protests.
Brother of one of the political prisoners - Magomed Pogorov believes that the criminal case against the wrongfully convicted leaders of the Ingush protest should be dropped, just as was done in the case of Prigozhin.
«Despite everything the mercenaries did, the charges against them were dropped overnight, while our compatriots are imprisoned on trumped-up charges. You once said in this regard that there was no point in throwing bottles into the crowd—yes, someone young, perhaps hesitant, threw that bottle, but Wagner's men didn't shoot down planes and helicopters with a slingshot, leaving a trail of dead in their wake.
Free our innocent people too. Their only crime is that they asked you, as the guarantor of the Constitution, to restore their violated rights and protect territorial integrity, and now they're in prison for no reason.", - said Pogorov.
Let us remember that the “Ingush case” is one of the most high-profile criminal cases in North Caucasus. In 2019, mass protests erupted in the republic demanding the return of lands they believed to be ancestral to the Ingush, which had been seized and transferred to Chechnya in 2018. Seven Ingush activists and community leaders were arrested. They were accused of extremism and organizing violence against security forces. In 2021, the defendants were sentenced to terms ranging from seven and a half to nine years in a general regime penal colony.
