PYATIGORSK. Nov 27 (Interfax) - Police have found video materials calling on people to fight on the side of ISIL in an Islamic school of the Turkish non-governmental religious fund Suleymanji in Derbent, Dagestan, which was previously closed by a court ruling, the press service for the Interior Ministry's Main Department for the Northern Caucasus Federal District reported on Friday.
"The work of the educational establishment Suleymanji was halted by a decision issued by the Supreme Court of Dagestan back in March 2015, but officials from the Interior Ministry's Main Department for the Northern Caucasus Federal District had information that extremist materials were produced and disseminated in the school," the report says.
Police searched the school on Thursday and found DVDs containing videos on participation and calls for war made by members of ISIL and Imarat Kavkaz, and also religious literature.
The director of the school, a 34-year-old resident of a village in the Tabasaransky district of Dagestan, has been detained. A criminal case may be opened.
Suleymanji is a radical Islamic Turkish organization. It was created in 1957. The organization was expelled from the Turkish Spiritual Directorate of Muslims for radicalism.
