Yamadaev brothers' relatives fear for their life

Relatives of the brothers Isa and Musa Yamadaev, who were summoned by investigatory bodies to the North-Ossetian city of Mozdok for interrogation on the case about disappearance of one of the soldiers of the recently disbanded special-purpose GRU battalion "Vostok", are afraid for their life.

Yamadaevs' relatives fear that Isa's and Musa's arrival to North Ossetia can have extremely negative consequences for them.

A close relative of the Yamadaev family said to the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent that he found the call of Isa and Musa to Mozdok for holding their confrontment with former special fighters on the case of Khaladov's disappearance to be just a trap. In his opinion, the authorities of Chechnya feel easier to "reach" the rebellious brothers in North Ossetia than in Moscow.

He thinks that none of the brothers was involved in Alikhan Khaladov's disappearance; they are accused just to exert pressure. The relative could not exclude that should the brothers arrive to Mozdok, Kadyrov's agencies "will attempt to kidnap them or commit other illegal actions against Isa or Musa."
