A court in Moscow has sentenced citizens of Tajikistan for attacking police officers in the metro.
Photo: InternetThe Simonovsky Court of Moscow sentenced two citizens of Tajikistan – Umar Rasuljonzoda to 3.5 years and Saidakram Khayroev to 2.5 years in prison for attacking police officers in the Moscow metro.
The defendants were found guilty of using violence against representatives of the authorities. The court announced the verdict on August 11 of this year.
It was previously reported that the young men, aged 18 and 21, actively resisted police officers on the evening of February 17, 2022, at the “Tulskaya” metro station. It was reported that they were brothers. When police officers attempted to detain one of the brothers, the other attacked the police, leading to a fight.
The fight between the young men and the police was captured on video and became a sensation in the Russian-speaking segment of the internet. Their father, Rasuljon Khayroev, stated in a video address that he disagreed with his sons’ actions. He mentioned that his older son Saidakram is 21, and Rasul is only 18, and that it was his first time in Russia and he did not know that it was wrong to hit police officers.
