Case Description
1. In Vladikavkaz in May 2024, a second criminal case under the same article about repeated "discrediting of the army" was opened against Teona Kelekhsaeva, a 33-year-old local resident previously convicted under this article. The reason for the new persecution was a comment on VKontakte published in October 2022 under a news post in the "ChP/Vladikavkaz" group, in which Kelekhsaeva stated that she had no pity for "mercenaries who went to kill for money and got involved in someone else's country": "Is the whole republic ashamed to admit that this is not your war and you had no right to get involved? Your ancestors are turning over in their graves looking at you, mankurts, traitors of the Caucasus, it was always free, but now you have been made slaves and sent to kill civilians for the golden toilets of this fool in the Kremlin, and you swallow it, just like you swallowed Beslan, where he killed your children, life teaches you nothing, invaders are heroes to you and you still owe them something, who attacked you, who are you saving? Yesterday you despised this power, but today you are dying for it because you saw the money, you sold out to it." It is unknown what preventive measure was chosen. In Vladikavkaz no later than January 2023 (the exact date is unknown), a criminal case about repeated "discrediting of the army" was opened against Teona Kelekhsaeva, a 32-year-old local resident. The reason for the criminal prosecution was comments about the "special military operation" and mobilized people from North Ossetia, which, according to the investigation, the girl wrote on VKontakte and in Telegram channels. Details are unknown. Earlier, on May 20, 2022, the Promyshlenny District Court of Vladikavkaz fined Kelekhsaeva in an administrative offense case under the article on "discrediting the army" due to an Instagram video - the court decided that the video "discredits military personnel and the leadership of the RF Armed Forces." It is unknown what preventive measure was chosen. On March 23, 2023, the Promyshlenny District Court of Vladikavkaz, Republic of North Ossetia-Alania, found Teona Kelekhsaeva guilty and sentenced her to a fine of 100 thousand rubles and compulsory outpatient treatment by a psychiatrist. The sentence was not appealed and entered into force.
