MOSCOW, August 18 (RAPSI, Lyudmila Klenko) - The Moscow District Military Court on Thursday imposed a fine of 400,000 rubles ($6,300) on a medical student Patimat Gadzhieva for posting an image related to the Islamic State, a terrorist organization banned in Russia, on her VKontakte social media account, RAPSI reports from the courtroom.

Gadzhiyeva was released from jail after the sentence had been read.

A prosecutor earlier demanded a 4-year prison sentence for the student charged with justifying terrorism.

According to case files, in the summer of 2015, the student posted an image on a social network depicting representative of ISIS and “a scene of execution”. A copy of text in Russian was copied by Gadzhieva in the form of a prayer. She deleted the image after 13 days, but Russian authorities found the posting in Vkontakte’s archive and launched a criminal case against the student in November 2015.

Gadzhieva has pleaded partially guilty. The student admitted that she had posted the symbols connected with ISIS on her VKontakte page; but, according to the defendant, she had not intended to justify terrorism.
