[KavkazUzel] An 18-year-old resident of Ingushetia faces forced treatment in a psychiatric hospital for preparing an attack on security forces and a terrorist attack in Sunzha.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot", at the end of April the investigation reported that the case of two young men accused of preparing an attack on security forces and an Orthodox church in Sunzha had been transferred to court. The case of the third defendant was separated into a separate proceeding. The investigators did not report on the other defendants in the case, although initially there were six detainees.
In August 2024, it became known that six residents of Ingushetia had been detained, who, according to investigators, were preparing attacks on security forces and an Orthodox church in Sunzha. One of the suspects stated that he had received instructions from a native of Dagestan living in Syria.

The prosecution is demanding compulsory medical measures for an 18-year-old resident of Ingushetia, accused of a number of terrorist crimes, including the preparation of a terrorist attack in Sunzha. At the time of the crimes, he was a minor.
The case of a young man who was initially arrested and then temporarily placed in a psychiatric hospital has been referred to court. Since the accused was found to have a mental disorder, he faces compulsory treatment, the Investigative Committee's Ingushetia department reported on August 7.
In addition to preparing a terrorist attack and illegal trafficking of weapons and explosives, the young man is accused of participating in an illegal armed group and involvement in terrorist activity. The investigation believes that while preparing a terrorist attack in Sunzha and an armed attack on security forces, the young man illegally acquired automatic firearms and explosive devices, which he kept in a hiding place on the outskirts of the Sunzhensky District.
“In addition, the defendant persuaded two local residents to commit terrorist crimes,” the official Telegram channel of the republican Investigative Committee said.
The case of the other two defendants is still being heard in court, the department noted.
