The Tajik and Iranian nationals who were sentenced to prison terms in the United Arab Emirates for murdering Hero of Russia Sulim Yamadayev, a native of Chechnya, have been released from prison and deported home. This comes in a statement for the RIA Novosti news agency by the Tajik Vice-Consul in Dubai, Saidmuhammed Salihov.
The crime, perpetrated in the UAE in late March 2009, sent ripples due to the Yamadayev family differences with the Chechen President.
A Dubai court sentenced the Tajik national Maksudzhon Ismatov and Iranian national Mahdi Lornia to life in prison for murdering Yamadayev.
But later the court of appeals examined a plea for clemency for the convicted by Yamadayev’s brother, Issa, and reduced their term to 27 months.
