Human rights defenders reported about dozens of criminal cases initiated following the protests. Nadezhda Borodkina, an advocate, has stated that some rally participants were tortured. By October 3, the court had issued rulings to administratively punish 104 protesters.

By October 8, punishments had been awarded on 148 administrative cases; and 102 cases were returned to the Sovetsky ROVD (District Interior Division) of Makhachkala due to procedural violations; one case was dismissed; and another one was transferred to another jurisdiction.
