The life of A. Zakayev's bodyguard is under threat
According to reliable informations from the Chechen Republic, A. Zakayev's
former bodyguard Vaha Dashuyev has been transported to Grozny. He is
kept in one of the investigation isolation centres in Grozny under constant
severe torture and humiliations.
According to the available information, Dashuyev is subjected to torture
by electric current. He is beaten with bludgeons and forced to sign empty
sheets of paper and to voice ready-written texts in front of a video camera,
which "prove" A. Zakayev's participation in committed crimes.
In the opinion of Vaha Dashuyev's relatives, which is shared by many Chechen
human rights activists, his life is in serious danger, since the physical
measures used against him in order to beat useful evidence out of him, finally
could lead to the death of the arrested, as it already happened in similar
cases.
