Human rights activist Khachukaev brought to Chechnya

Arbi Khachukaev, head of the public organization from Grozny named "Pravo" (Law), who was detained today in Moscow, was convoyed by air to Chechnya, as reported by one of his human rights colleagues. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) of Chechnya, the reason of detention was that he is suspected of taking part in an armed assault in the territory of the republic in 2008.

According to the colleague, Arbi Khachukaev is an ordinary resident of Chechnya. "Since 2000, he has been engaged in defence of human rights and was heading a public organization; he's a family man and has two small children - boys of 2 and 4 - and a pregnant wife. He's against any violent actions and even doesn't perceive those who take part in armed attacks," she said.

Meanwhile, the press service of the MIA of the Chechen Republic has reported that "Khachukaev was detained in Moscow within the investigation of a criminal case about an armed assault, in which he is a suspect," as the "Gazeta.Ru" quotes a MIA source.
