As reported by the Human Rights Centre (HRC) "Memorial", Magomed Mutsolgov, 15, who was kidnapped on August 8 by power agents, was brought to some unknown place, where he was tortured and beaten.
The child was absent for more than two days, and only on August 10 it became known that he was in the ROVD (District Interior Division) of Nazran. All this time, no advocate and relatives were admitted to him.
On August 12, employees of the HRC "Memorial" in Nazran interrogated the boy, who told them that after kidnapping they were beating his legs and tortured with electric current, demanding to confess that the hideout found in Surkhakhi village belonged to his assassinated brother.
