On October 4, the human rights defenders received a complaint about kidnapping on September 28 of Khasavyurt residents Gashim Uzdanov, Pakhrudin Makhaev, Islam Magomedov, and Shamil Djamalutdinov, a resident of Kaspiysk.

On September 25, a native of Dagestan, permanently residing abroad, was kidnapped in Makhachkala. He informed his family members by phone that he was being kept at a police station in one of the neighbouring North-Caucasian republics.

On October 5, Arsen Magomedov filed a complaint about kidnapping of four residents of Khasavyurt: Kamil and Shamil Djamaludinov, Klych Klychev, and Gosein Goseinov.

On October 4, Kamil Djamaludinov, a 25-year-old nephew of the complainant, and two of his friends, Klych Klychev, and Gosein Goseinov, were forced into a car and taken away from Khasavyurt, reports Arsen Magomedov.

On the same day, 26-year-old Shamil Djamaludinov, a Kamil's cousin, left home in his car and also disappeared.
