A court in southern Russia has sentenced five men to more than six years in prison each for their involvement in a mass anti-Israel protest at an airport in Dagestan. The convictions are the first related to the riot, which took place in October in the predominantly Muslim region. The sentencing marks a significant development in Russia's handling of the incident, which was characterized by antisemitic actions.
