Grozny resident abducted

On the night of May 5-6 unknown armed persons wearing masks burst into a house on Shefskaya Street, Staropromyslovsky district in Grozny, Chechnya, and took away its resident, 42-year-old Musa Zaurbekov. The kidnapped has recently returned back home, believing that after the constitutional referendum in Chechnya they would have a normal life.

According to Musa's relatives, the incident took place at about 3 a.m. The armed men forced the front door with their rifle butts. The kidnappers locked up the rest of the family in a separate room, sealing their lips with scotch tape. Then they ordered Musa out of the house and drove him away in a UAZ vehicle. Later in the morning his relatives turned for help to the Staropromyslovsky district administration and commandant's office in Grozny. But they have got no assistance in search
of the kidnapped.
