The terrorist organization in question is Daesh, the newspaper added. The case has been adjourned until March 14.
Daesh is a militant group which took over large areas of Syria and Iraq in 2014. It is outlawed in many countries, including Russia. The group gained notoriety for its human rights atrocities, and has offshoots in many countries.
In December, a man was sentenced to death in absentia in the United Arab Emirates for having links to the group.
