Maskhud Abdullaev, thought to be kidnapped, speaks on Chechen TV

 

Maskhud Abdullaev, son of Supyan Abdullaev, a close associate of leader of militants Doku Umarov, a student of the Al-Akhsar University, who was deported from Egypt, is nowadays in Chechnya.

Maskhud's mother who lives in Baku said that she saw her son live on Chechen TV in the programme "Footholds" on the "Grozny" TV Channel. According to her story, Maskhud was addressing his father Supyan Abdullaev asking him to stop war and surrender, the "Echo Moskvy" reports.

"On arrival to Domodedovo Airport, I spent a night there, and on the following day took off for Grozny to see my relatives and friends and how the Chechen Republic is doing. I wasn't in Chechnya for the last 10 years," said Maskhud in the "Footholds" programme.

Answering the journalist's question about the rumours that he had been forced away from the airport with the aim to use him as a tool of exerting pressure on his father Supyan, Maskhud said: "I'm for a week in Grozny already, nobody ever detained me, and I feel no pressure." This was reported by the "Interfax".

Maskhud's mother has added that her son did not contact his family that lives in Baku. "I'm happy to see him alive and healthy. Everything he said in the programme is true: from the age of 12 he studied in Baku, he wasn't going to visit Chechnya, and that he was a student in Egypt," she said to the "Gazeta.Ru".
