A follower of Said Nursi was arrested in Dagestan

In Izberbash, a person involved in the case of Ilgar Aliyev, convicted under Art. 282.2 of the Criminal Code.

In March 2020, we learned that a follower of the Turkish Islamic theologian Said Nursi was arrested for two months in Izberbash (Republic of Dagestan). According to information received later, this is Ibragim Murtazaliev (b. 1966), who was placed in SIZO-1 in Makhachkala.

to eight years in prison in 2018 According to available information, he was a defendant in the case of Ilgar Aliyev, who was sentenced on charges of organizing the activities of the Nurcular extremist organization (part 1 of article 282.2 of the Criminal Code) and involvement in the activities of this organization (part 1.1 of article 282.2 of the Criminal Code).

We consider it illegal to ban the Nurcular association, which did not exist in Russia at all: in our opinion, there are only individual believers who face unreasonable persecution for studying the books of Said Nursi.
