Dagestan resident fined for ethnic hatred comments in UFC Telegram chat

A 21-year-old Dagestan resident named Magomed S. has been fined 10,000 rubles by the Kizlyar District Court for inciting ethnic hatred. The case stems from comments made three years ago in the UFC Eurasia Telegram chat, where Magomed engaged in arguments with other users and made derogatory statements about Russians, though he apologized within ninety minutes. Officers from Center 'E' discovered the violation during their monitoring activities. In court, Magomed admitted guilt and expressed remorse for his actions. The case highlights authorities' monitoring of MMA-related online communities for violations of laws against inciting hatred.
