"The court has ordered the remand of the suspects into custody for a period of two months," the statement said.

The investigative department of the FSB Directorate for the Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol has initiated criminal cases under part 1 and 2 of article 205.5 of the Russian Criminal Code (organizing the activities of a terrorist organization and participating in the activities of such an organization).
