The charges against the four defendants in the Crocus City Hall terrorist attack case have been reclassified, lawyer Alexander Yarin has told Russia’s state-owned TASS news agency. “Aminchon and Dilovar Islomov, their father Isroil Islomov, and Alisher Kasimov are now charged under Part 3 of Article 205.1 of the Russian Criminal Code,” Yarin stated.
Previously, the defendants were charged under paragraph “b” of Part 3 of Article 205 of the Criminal Code, which pertains to a terrorist act resulting in a fatality. The updated charges now reflect involvement in actions that facilitated the commission of a terrorist act.
As previously reported by TCA, the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall, located on the outskirts of Moscow, resulted in 144 fatalities and 551 injuries. The incident has created a climate of fear among Central Asian migrants living in Russia.
In the aftermath of the attack, Tajik migrants have faced a surge of hostility and aggression, further exacerbating tensions within the migrant community.
