The Republic's Commission for Adaptation of Former Militants to Peaceful Life has decided to claim indulgence to a resident of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic (KBR), who was detained in Nalchik after his arrival by air from Syria.

The Commission's sitting was held today in the building of the KBR's Government, where it considered the petition of N., born in 1996, who is under investigation for his participation in armed formations in the territory of a foreign country.

According to the edition, in October 2014, the above resident went to Syria, where he became a member of the "Jaish al-Muhajireen wal-Ansar" grouping. In his petition, he noted that in Syria he helped militants, but did not take part in the warfare.
