Moscow, Russia (BERITAPOLITIK.ONLINE) — In a high-security courtroom session Sunday, March 24, 2024, four individuals accused of orchestrating the deadly Russia concert hall attack, which claimed the lives of more than 130 innocent civilians, appeared before a Moscow court. The suspects, visibly bearing signs of severe beatings, faced charges related to terrorism, according to court officials.
