Case summary
Resident of Naberezhnye Chelny. He was detained on 23 November 2021 and taken into custody on 25 November. He was accused of organising the activities of an extremist organisation.

On 13 March 2023, Agaev was sentenced to two and a half years in a general regime colony. Presumably, he was released in August 2023.
