Kabardino-Balkarian HRC states breach of inmate's rights

The Kabardino-Balkarian Human Rights Centre (HRC) has sent a letter to the Federal Service of Punishment Enforcement on illegal convoying of prisoner Aslanbek Mutsolgov to Omsk from a corrective colony in Kabardino-Balkaria, while his case on conditional early relief (CER) was under consideration.

Human rights activists were addressed by Dzhappueva, Abad Makhtievna, who complained against the actions of Etezov, B. Kh., head of Colony No. 3 of Kabardino-Balkaria, who prevents the CER of her son - Mutsolgov, Aslanbek Magomedovich, who is serving his term in this colony.

As a result of interference of the Kabardino-Balkarian HRC and Republic's Ombudsman, the materials on the CER, together with a positive characteristic of convict Mutsolgov, were sent to the Chegem District Court for consideration. The materials also contained a petition of the colony administration dated October 27, 2008. However, on November 13, 2008, Mutsolgov was convoyed to the city of Omsk for further imprisonment there. The court had no time to consider his case.

"The convoying of the inmate for serving his term to another region, while his CER materials are in the court, is illegal and unjustified," runs the letter of the HRC.
