IHF: Ingush residents tortured in custody in N Ossetia

The International Helsinki Federation for Human Rights is concerned about increasingly frequent cases of torture and unlawful actions with respect to residents of Ingushetia. This is said in an open letter from IHF Executive Director Aaron Rhodes to Alexander Bigulov, Prosecutor of the Republic of North Ossetia, received by Caucasian Knot. In his letter, the human rights defender reports illegal detention, torture, and fabrication of a criminal case by officers of the North Ossetian Internal Affairs Ministry's Department for the Combating of Organised Crime against four men: Muslim Bagaudinovich Tsechoyev, Ruslan Bagaudinovich Tsechoyev, Magomed Makhmedgireyevich Tsechoyev, and Yusup Umatgireyevich Khashiyev. There are reports that the four were tortured, after which three of them were released on the same night and a criminal case was opened against Ruslan Tsechoyev.

The human rights defender asks to close the criminal case, release Mr Tsechoyev, investigate the circumstances of the obviously unlawful detention of the four men, and hold those guilty of the use torture with respect to them accountable.
