[Regnum] A member of a terrorist cell created by convicts in a Kalmykia penal colony has been arrested, the website of the Essentuki City Court reported on September 25. “Based on the results of the court hearing, the court came to the conclusion that it was appropriate to choose a preventive measure in the form of detention for a period of 1 month and 4 days, until October 28, 2024, against the citizen,” the statement said. According to the preliminary investigation, in 2013, a terrorist group called "Ahl al-Sunna wal-Jamaat" was created in the colony, which included more than 100 convicts. The members of the terrorist group spread extremist ideology, recruited new convicts, and also established the rules of the Sharia court on the territory of the colony. Criminal cases have been opened against several dozen members and leaders of the terrorist cell, some of whom have already been sentenced to various terms of imprisonment. As reported by the Regnum news agency, on August 23, in IK-19 in the Volgograd region, four criminals serving their sentences there took eight employees of the colony and four prisoners hostage. The attackers demanded $2 million, a helicopter and an air corridor to Georgia. As a result of the emergency, four FSIN employees were killed, one of whom died in hospital. The Rosgvardia special forces eliminated the criminals and rescued the hostages. Law enforcement officers restored order in the penal colony. The penal colony is currently operating as normal. The Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation has opened a criminal case under two articles of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
