Abdulmumin Gadjiev was detained within the case of financing terrorism; he insists on his innocence. His colleagues treat his persecution as a form of pressure on him.
On May 24, the above Magomed Magomedov came out to a solo picket, who demanded to release Abdulmumin Gadjiev and stop his criminal prosecution. The second solo picket with a call to stop unjustified arrests in general was held by Magdi Kamalov, the founder of the "Chernovik".
