Human rights defender Mutsolgov has refused to take part in the human rights conference to be held in Chechnya

Magomed Mutsolgov, head of the "Mashr" Association of Kidnapped Relatives (Ingushetia) has refused to take part in the international conference on human rights, which will open tomorrow, on March 1, in the city of Grozny, capital of Chechnya. He told about it today to the correspondent of the "Caucasian Knot" by phone from the office of his organization in the town of Karabulak, Republic of Ingushetia.

"One can go there only as a 'wedding-party general' or as a dummy. I do not want to be used in one's politics tricks," the human rights defender says.

In Mr. Mutsolgov's opinion, there is no need to hold a human rights forum under Kadyrov's supervision - it could be organized on any other day by Nurdi Nukhadziev, Ombudsman for human rights in Chechnya, himself.

"We would like to discuss the problem of kidnapping. Why before, until it has become necessary personally to Ramzan Kadyrov prior to his appointment to the post of the president of the Republic, nobody from the authorities had ever tried to meet human rights activists and to discuss violations of human rights?" Magomed Mutsolgov asks.
