The Elistinsky City Court of Kalmykia sentenced the Dagestan fighter Said Osmanov to two years conditionally with a annual test term for abuse of the Buddhist sanctuary. It is reported by the "Caucasian Knot" without bringing the name of the judge.

As specified on the court’s website, the total term of Osmanov was appointed by partial addition of punishments for each of the two imputed charges. Part 2 of Article 148 of the Criminal Code (insulting the feelings of believers in the places of worship), the defendant was given a year conditionally, in part 1 of Article 282 (excitement of national hatred or enmity) - a year and a half.

The prosecutor in the debate demanded for Osmanov three and a half years of the real term. Meanwhile, the defendant himself, speaking on Tuesday with the last word, insisted on his innocence. The athlete’s lawyer Murad Velikhanov said the court decision would be appealed.

Before the verdict of the Ottomans was kept in the Elistinsky pre-trial detention center-1. At the end of the meeting, people who introduced themselves to the police took the convict, explaining that they were being taken home to Dagestan. Velikhanov said that he was afraid of provocations against Osmanov from the Kalmyk security forces. Another athlete’s lawyer, Assad Dzhabirov, said that the car of relatives of the convicted person, heading from Elista to Dagestan, "accompany several cars."

Velikhanov, in addition, said that on Thursday, "obscure people in civilian clothes approached Osmanov’s relatives and invited them to leave for Dagestan with a long, bypass road." "They explained their recommendation anxiety for the safety of Said, due to possible protests of the residents of the republic," the lawyer added.

On the night of April 2, the 22-year-old Osman, who arrived in Elista to participate in the freestyle wrestling tournament, along with other members of the Dagestan team walked around the city, releasing unflattering remarks relative to Buddhist religious architecture. Then the athlete went into one of the Buddhist sanctuaries, helped there and hit the statue of Buddha with his foot in the face . At the same time, he broadcast his actions into a personal channel on the PerisCope social network.

That same night, the locals, looking at the record, appeared to Osmanov in the hotel, pulled him out into the street and forced him to apologize for their act. The athlete was justified by the fact that he allegedly did not know that he was defiled by the monument. The police could not calm the crowd for some time. Then Osmanov was detained.

The fighting tournament was canceled, and the coach of the Dagestan team was dismissed. The Prime Minister of Dagestan Abdusamad Gamidov, who apologized for the athlete’s act, arrived in Elista urgently.

Against Osmanov, the case was initiated by the 148th article. On April 4, the Elistinsky City Court arrested the athlete for two months; On May 31, its detention in the pre -trial detention center was extended until July 2.

Meanwhile, on June 10, the Supreme Court of Kalmykia, having examined the appeal of Osmanov’s lawyers, freed the athlete on bail 150 thousand rubles. At the same time, the court issued a private submission to the judge of the Elistine City Court and the investigator. It was noted that Osmanov imputed with the crimes of the small severity and the arrest of the athlete on such charges was unacceptable.

However, when Osmanov, after the trial, went with things from the pre -trial detention center, he was again detained . The reason was called the excitement against him under the 282nd article, which allows a preventive measure in the form of arrest. The next day, the Elistinsky City Court again arrested the athlete.

Later, Osmanov’s detention in the pre -trial detention center was once again extended. The proceedings in the case lasted since July 18.
