Five
abducted men reportedly missing as yet
Relatives
of the five young men abducted last week in a task operation in Ordjonikidzevskaya
of Sunzhensky district of Ingushetia have not established their whereabouts
so far.
"We have appealed to the district Prosecutor's office as well as to the Interior Ministry of the republic lately, but all offices said the law-enforcement agencies of Ingushetia did not participate in the operation thus had no information on the case," complained a sister of a missing person in her interview with the Caucasus Times correspondent September 1. "Don't we have the right to know, why and what our youths were detained for?"
According to the earlier reports on August 21 five young Chechen men have been seized and taken away somewhere by an alleged federal task forces group while visiting doctors in Ordjonikidzevskaya policlinic. The servicemen reportedly seriously injured two detainees. Since then the relatives have had no news from their young men and have been seeking to find out their whereabouts, in vain as yet.
"We've had some hints, that Lom-Ali Shaepov, Salam Kerimov, Rasambek Saedulayev, Adam Patsuyev, Ibrahim Idigov were kept for a while in a building of the FSB in Magas," said the mother of one of the detainees. "However, our numerous requests to the regional FSB office went unanswerable. As for now the agencies officers decline to confirm whether the guys are alive or killed."
The district Prosecutor's office reported the disappearing case was open, under investigation. "It's far too soon to tell what army or police units detained the young men. By the time the investigation is over, all circumstances of the case will have been established," said an employee of the Prosecutor's office, who declined to give his name.
