A case against participants of the meeting in defence of the Aushevs can be initiated in Ingushetia

The law-enforcement bodies of Chechnya and Ingushetia are not going to investigate the case about kidnapping last week of the Aushev brothers, who are second cousins to each other. At the same time, a criminal case can be initiated on the fact of holding the meeting with a demand to release the detainees.

All this has become known from Aslambek Apaev, expert of the Moscow Helsinki Group for Northern Caucasus. In the opinion of the human rights activist, the employees of power agencies who took part in kidnapping the Aushev brothers would hardly be made answerable for their illegal actions.

"At the same time, we have information that they are getting ready or already have initiated a case on the fact of holding a mass protest meeting on September 19 in Nazran, with a demand to release the kidnapped Aushev brothers. There is information already that "measures are taken" against the participants of this action. To identify those who took part in the protest action, they also make use of video records from the venue made by correspondents of various foreign mass media. Today, they already talk about possible repressive measures against the protesters," Mr Apaev said.
