This was reported by the newspaper "Novaya Gazeta". At 5:28 p.m. Moscow time, Magomed Tazbiev reported on beatings at a police station, the newspaper reports.

The "Caucasian Knot" has informed that today, the "Novaya Gazeta" reported that over 150 residents of Chechnya signed an appeal to the Russian General Prosecutor.

On December 17, 2016, attacks on policemen were committed in Grozny, and after that in the course of a special operation, according to the law enforcement agencies, seven suspected militants were killed and four others were detained. Later, local residents reported that relatives of the murdered and detained attackers had been massively detained. Some of them were executed at night on January 26, 2017, the "Novaya Gazeta" reported on July 9.

Several hours after the publication on the "Novaya Gazeta" website about the appeal to the General Prosecutor, Salman Taramov and Magomed Tazbiev, a father and an uncle of the detained young people, were urgently summoned to one of the police station, the "Novaya Gazeta" reports today.

"At 5:28 p.m. Moscow time, Magomed Tazbiev managed to contact for several seconds Vladimir Rutkovsky, his son’s advocate. 'They beat, they beat, they beat,' that's all he managed to say. At about 5:55 p.m. Moscow time, we were informed that an ambulance had driven into the territory of the ROVD (District Interior Division)," reports the "Novaya Gazeta" today.

"The 'Novaya Gazeta' calls on the Russian Federation to immediately intervene in the situation in the territory of the ROVD," emphasizes the material published by the "Novaya Gazeta".
