Emran Navruzbekov, former FSB operative agent from Dagestan, arrested for ten days
Emran Navruzbekov, a former operative agent of the Russian FSB (Federal Security Service) from Dagestan, was placed under arrest for 10 days after being deported from Poland, his wife has informed. A source from Polish power bodies has stated that Navruzbekov had provided false information.
The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that in December 2022, Navruzbekov, having left Russia, made accusations against his colleagues. In an interview with the head of the human rights project "Gulagu.Net", Vladimir Osechkin*, he stated that FSB employees had been involved in terror acts committed in Dagestan and other regions of the North Caucasus. On June 6, it became known that Poland, while ignoring an emergency complaint sent to the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), deported Navruzbekov to Russia, treating his further stay in Poland as a threat to the national security. His family received asylum in Poland.
Poland has deported Navruzbekov because of the false information he provided, Stanislav Zharin, the spokesman for the Minister-Coordinator of Polish Special Services, has explained. "The information that the Russian provided to Polish institutions turned out to be unreliable," Mr Zharin wrote on the Twitter.
Such cases will not facilitate the flight of Russian law enforcers, the Chechen blogger, Tumso Abdurakhmanov, wrote in his Telegram channel on June 7. He compared Navruzbekov's case to the detention of the Chechen policeman, Yasin Khalidov.
The 19-year-old policeman Yasin Khalidov was detained at a checkpoint in the Omsk Region while trying to cross the Russian-Kazakh border. Earlier, he tried to quit his service so as not to return to the special military operation (SMO) zone in Ukraine. Human rights defenders are convinced that Khalidov is in danger in Chechnya.
