State media has reported that two defendants, Dalerdzhon Mirzoyev and Saidakrami Rachabalizoda, are facing potential life imprisonment in connection with the Crocus Concert Hall terrorist attack case. The suspects appeared in a Moscow court on Sunday to address charges related to the attack.

Both Mirzoyev and Rachabalizoda have been accused of committing a terrorist act and could potentially receive life sentences, according to state-media outlet RIA Novosti. The prosecution has requested that both defendants be detained as a precautionary measure.

Authorities have also asked the court to hold Mirzoyev's hearing behind closed doors to ensure the integrity of the proceedings, as reported by state media.
