Resident of Murmansk, bus driver, father of two young children. Born in Baimak (Bashkortostan).
In 2024, together with his family came to Baymak for New Year holidays. By chance he learnt that the case of Bashkir activist Fail Alsynov was being considered in the local court and out of curiosity he came to the courthouse on the day of the verdict announcement.
Less than a month later, Islamov learnt that he was placed on a wanted list. He called the department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the town of Apatity, where he was at the time, and came to the police station. He was detained on charges of participation in mass riots and sent to custody on 9 February. According to the investigation, he threw "objects resembling logs" in the direction of the police, which is regarded as use of violence against law enforcers.
Later Islamov was transferred to Ufa.
On 19 September 2025, the court sentenced him to four and a half years in a general regime colony.
