In Moscow, Maskhud Abdullaev, deported from Egypt son of Chechen militant, disappeared

Human rights activists cannot establish the whereabouts of Maskhud Abdullaev, son of  Supyan Abdullaev, leader of Chechen armed underground movement and closest ally of Doku Umarov, leader of the militants of Northern Caucasus.

"It looks like our worst expectations coming true. We have a fact of human disappearance out of hands of the authorities, and not somewhere in Northern Caucasus but in Moscow," said Oleg Orlov, head of the Russian Human Rights Centre "Memorial".

Maskhud Abdullaev was detained at once after arrival in Domodedovo Airport, as law enforcement bodies of Russia had questions as to his stay in Egypt.

Human rights advocate Oleg Orlov has reported that at night frontier guards of Domodedovo Airport told by telephone that Abdullaev who had arrived from Egypt passed the check point and was not detained. "But he never appeared in the hall, and his relatives and friends never saw him. His mother in Baku is extremely anxious: he gave no call and didn't say where he was. She is quite in panic," said Mr Orlov.

Human rights activist Elena Sannikova also asserts that Abdullaev never left the frontier control zone at Domodedovo Airport.
