Two women in Dagestan were fined for not standing during the Russian national anthem
One of them told the court she could not stand because she was feeling unwell, while the other said she had a child on her lap. The judge did not consider these valid reasons, the Supreme Court of the Republic of Dagestan said.
The incident occurred during a September 1 ceremonial assembly at the Republican Education Center in the city of Kaspiysk. The women did not admit guilt in court.
A magistrate fined them 2,500 rubles each.
