The court in Perm released from the colony three convicts in the “Baymak case” - Ilnur Ayupov, Sagit Yulmukhametov and Albert Tagirov

The courts have already made at least 20 decisions on the release of convicted ordinary defendants in the “Baymak case” from colonies.

The Motovilikha District Court of Perm this week released from the colony three more convicts in the “Baymak case” - Ilnur Ayupov , Sagit Yulmukhametov and Albert Tagirov . Idel.Realii found the relevant information on the court’s website.

All three served their sentences in general regime correctional colony No. 29, which houses the majority of those convicted in the Baymak case.

The Motovilikha District Court granted the petition of 31-year-old Ilnur Ayupov to replace him with a more lenient sentence in prison on June 15. What exact punishment the court imposed is unknown.

On the same day, the court, for an unknown reason, dismissed the case of Aisuvak Yavgastin , who asked to replace the colony with forced labor. Previously, he was sentenced to five and a half years in prison.

On June 17, the court replaced the colony with a more lenient type of punishment ( what exactly was not specified ) for 50-year-old resident of the Baimaksky district of Bashkortostan Sagit Yulmukhametov and 33-year-old native of the Uchalinsky district Albert Tagirov .

On January 17, 2024, Judge Elina Tagirova of the Baimaksky District Court of Bashkortostan found Bashkir activist Fail Alsynov guilty under Part 1 of Art. 282 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ( “Inciting hatred or enmity” ) and sentenced him to four years in prison in a general regime colony. The state prosecution requested the same four years for the activist, but in a colony settlement.

Several thousand Alsynov's supporters came to the announcement of the verdict and greeted the court's decision with indignation. In the square in front of the courthouse, clashes occurred with security forces, who pelted protesters with tear gas grenades and beat them with batons. Protesters responded by throwing snow at the police. As a result, the security forces managed to take Alsynov out of the courthouse only after significant reinforcements arrived.

After the protests in Baymak, the Investigative Committee opened criminal cases under two articles: organizing and participating in mass riots (Parts 1 and 2 of Article 212 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), as well as the use of violence against a government official (Part 1 of Article 318 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). About 80 people were involved in these cases.

Previously, "Idel.Realities" told the stories of these convicts.

Ilnur Ayupov was born on May 23, 1995 in the village of Basaevo, Baimaksky district of Bashkortostan, lived in Sibay, graduated from a branch of the Bashkir State University in 2015, and worked as an individual entrepreneur. According to the case file, he has two minor children.

The investigation accused Ayupov of “picking up at least three objects from the ground that looked like lumps of icy snow,” throwing them towards law enforcement officers, while one of the lumps “hit the impact shield of Police Major K.Z. Akbulatova, causing physical pain to the victim.”

On December 23, 2025, judge of the Industrial District Court of Izhevsk Alexey Shnit found Ayupov guilty of “participation in mass riots” and “use of violence not dangerous to life and health against a government official” and sentenced him to four years and two months in prison.

Sagit Yulmukhametov was born on January 28, 1976 and lived in the village of Baimovo. He is the father of a minor child and a Group III disabled person. Before his arrest, he worked as a boiler room operator.

He was detained on February 10, 2024 in his own home. “He has a 3rd degree disability, he recently had heart surgery; despite all this, as many as 10 security officials came to his home to pick him up!”, it was reported in one of the activist Telegram channels.

On September 19, 2025, judge of the Leninsky District Court of Izhevsk Dmitry Vavilov found Yulmukhametov guilty of “participation in mass riots” and “use of violence not dangerous to life and health against a representative of the authorities” and sentenced his to four and a half years in prison.

Albert Tagirov was born on August 31, 1992 in the village of Battalovo, Uchalinsky district of Bashkortostan, and lived there until his arrest. He graduated from Beloretsk Pedagogical College, worked as an individual entrepreneur, and was a philanthropist “in the field of spiritual and sports development.” His family includes six minor children.

The Investigative Committee accused Tagirov of approaching one of the police officers of the Ufa Department of Internal Affairs on January 17, 2024, “grabbing him by the leg with his hands and throwing him to the ground, as a result of which the victim hit his head.” Also, Tagirov, according to investigators, “dealt at least two kicks and at least one punch to the shock-proof shield” to one of the employees of the National Guard department in the Republic of Belarus.

On June 16, 2025, Judge Ekaterina Azieva of the Ustinovsky District Court of Izhevsk found Tagirov guilty of “participation in mass riots” and “use of violence not dangerous to life and health against a representative of the authorities” and sentenced him to four and a half years in prison in a general regime colony.
