[KavkazUzel] The Russian Supreme Court rejected the cassation appeal of Asker Budaykhanov and Gadzhi Imanmurzaev, who were sentenced to lengthy prison terms for organizing riots at Makhachkala Airport. The defense pointed out that witness testimony and evidence contradicted the findings of the court and the investigation.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," on July 18, 2025, the Stavropol Regional Court sentenced four Dagestani residents in the case of the pogrom at Makhachkala Airport. The court found Devletkhan Ramazanov, Gadzhi Imanmurzaev, Asker Budaykhanov, and Patimat Sharudinova guilty of organizing mass riots and violating transport security and sentenced them to prison terms ranging from 11 to 11.5 years.
On October 29, 2023, mass riots erupted at Makhachkala Airport following the announcement of the arrival of a plane carrying passengers from Israel. More than 20 people were injured in the riots. The events at Uytash Airport are described in the "Caucasian Knot" report "The Case of the Pogrom at Makhachkala Airport."
Asker Budaykhanov and Gadzhi Imanmurzaev, convicted of organizing mass riots and violating transport security regulations at Makhachkala Airport, were unable to appeal their verdict in the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation. Imanmurzaev's lawyers argued that the evidence presented in the verdict did not support the court's findings. For example, two victims testified in court that Imanmurzaev calmed the crowd, urged them not to commit unlawful acts, and asked them to leave the airport. The trial court also unreasonably denied a motion to include the full audio recording (approximately three minutes long) in the case file and have it examined in court, which indicates that A.B. Budaykhanov is not guilty of organizing mass riots, according to the Supreme Court's ruling.
"The judicial investigation cannot be considered objective, since more than 130 identified individuals who participated in the mass riots were not questioned regarding the organizing role of A.B. Budaykhanov and G.I. Imanmurzaev," the defense emphasized, noting that the punishment was unfair.
They also pointed out that Imanmurzaev is the dependent of a minor child, and the convicted man is the grandfather of nine grandchildren who live with him. Budaykhanov has four minor children. Both convicted men partially admitted their guilt and expressed remorse. The court found the defense's arguments unfounded and upheld the sentence.
More than 130 people have been convicted of participating in the mass riots at Makhachkala Airport, receiving prison sentences ranging from 6.5 to 15 years. Dagestani resident Bakhtiyar Radzhabov, sentenced to seven years in prison by the Georgievsk City Court in October, became at least the 136th person convicted for participating in the pogrom, according to the Caucasian Knot report " A Wave of Anti-Semitic Actions in the North Caucasus."
As a reminder, Ilya Ponomarev*, Israil Akhmednabiyev (Abu Umar Sasitlinsky), and Abakar Abakarov, who are on the international wanted list and whose death confirmation has been sent to Turkish authorities, have been sentenced in absentia to terms ranging from 15 to 19 years. Investigators and the court deemed them the organizers of the unrest at Makhachkala Airport.
