Dagestan resident fined for hate speech in UFC Telegram chat

A 21-year-old man from Dagestan was fined 10,000 rubles for inciting hatred against Russians in a UFC Telegram chat. The Kizlyar District Court heard the case of Magomed S., who was charged under Article 20.3.1 of the Administrative Code. Officers from Center 'E' discovered the violation in comments Magomed made three years ago in the UFC Eurasia Telegram chat, where he argued with other users and made offensive statements about Russians. He apologized within 90 minutes of posting the comments. Magomed admitted guilt in court, expressed remorse, and was found guilty and fined.
