Moscow attack: Russian court charges four men with act of terrorism
Four men have been charged in Russia for the deadly Moscow concert attack, where 137 people were killed.
ISIS have claimed responsibility for Friday’s attack at the Crocus City Hall, they have posted video evidence to support their claims.
Three men were marched into a Moscow court while the fourth was in a wheelchair. All were charged with committing an act of terrorism.
Russian officials claim Ukraine was involved, but have not offered up any evidence. Kyiv have rejected the claim calling it “absurd.”
The four men charged with committing acts of terrorism have been named – Dalerdzhon Mirzoyev, Saidakrami Murodali Rachabalizoda, Shamsidin Fariduni and Muhammadsobir Fayzov.
All four men who appeared in the Russian court appeared to have been beaten, with videos of brutal interrogation sessions leaked by Russian security forces.
The four men were held in a glass-panelled booth and guarded by masked police during their time in court.
The men were identified as citizens of Tajikistan, Russia’s state news agency Tass said.
All four are to be held in pre-trial detention until at least 22 May, the court added.
