Lawyers who wanted to help the detainees were not allowed to attend the hearing on the adoption of a preventive measure because they were already defending other defendants in the Hizb ut-Tahrir case. Local residents gathered outside the court building, and police detained more than 30 people.
On 22 August 2023, the case came to the Southern District Military Court in Rostov-on-Don.
On 29 April 2025, Abdurazakov was sentenced to 14 years in a strict-regime penal colony.
