Today, residents of Ingushetia have gathered in central Magas, responding to the call of the organizing committee of the rally against the referendum law.
The territory assigned for the rally, a square in front of the "Ingushetia" National TV and Radio Company (NTRC), is surrounded by a metal fence, and the frameworks with metal detectors are installed, Magomed Mutsolgov, a protest participant and the head of the "Mashr" human rights organization, wrote in his blog that he runs on the "Caucasian Knot".
According to his story, "there are a huge number of law enforcers in the city." "About 10,000 people have already gathered in the square in Magas; and people continue coming. They discuss the latest events and express their extreme dissatisfaction with the actions of the regional authorities," Mr Mutsolgov wrote at 10:15 a.m. Moscow time.
