The Supreme Court of Dagestan upheld the verdict in the case of aid to Syrian militants.
Umalatova's eight-year prison sentence has been postponed until 2032, when her child turns 14.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," in December 2025, a court in Dagestan sentenced Lazai Kazimagomedova, who left for Syria in the spring of 2015, to eight years in prison.
The Supreme Court in Dagestan convicted a local resident of participating in a terrorist organization in Syria. "(Earlier) The Babayurt District Court of Dagestan found S. Umalatova guilty and sentenced her to imprisonment in a general regime penal colony for a term of 8 years... The Supreme Court of the Republic upheld the verdict of the court of first instance," Interfax quotes the press service of the FSB Directorate for Dagestan as saying.
Considering the presence of a minor child, serving the sentence has been deferred until he or she reaches the age of 14 - until October 29, 2032, RIA Dagestan reports.
It should be noted that the woman was convicted under Part 2 of Article 208 of the Criminal Code (participation in an illegal armed formation on the territory of a foreign state). This provision of the law provides for imprisonment from eight to fifteen years.
According to the prosecution, in April 2014, Umalatova left for Syria, where she joined the ranks of One of the international terrorist organizations banned in the Russian Federation. Umalatova cooked, sewed uniforms, and cared for the wounded. After the change of power in Syria, she was in a refugee camp. In December 2024, she returned to Russia, where she was detained by law enforcement.
