A 21-year-old man from Dagestan has been fined for inciting ethnic hatred in a UFC-related Telegram chat. The Kizlyar District Court ruled on the case of Magomed S., who was charged under Russia's hate speech statute. Officers from the Center 'E' discovered that three years ago, Magomed had made inflammatory comments about Russians in the UFC Eurasia Telegram chat during an argument with other users, though he apologized within 90 minutes and acknowledged there are worthy people among Russians. In court, Magomed admitted guilt and expressed remorse, resulting in a fine of 10,000 rubles.
