"Memorial" is concerned about life of Maskhud Abdullaev deported from Egypt to Russia

The Human Rights Centre "Memorial" has expressed its anxiety of the fate of Maskhud Abdullaev, who was deported today from Egypt to Russia for violating the migratory legislation of the former country.

Maskhud Abdullaev, son of Supyan Abdullaev, leader of the Chechen armed underground movement and the closest ally of the leader of all militants of Northern Caucasus Doku Umarov, and Ahmed Azimov were today brought by air to Moscow.

However, their relatives and friends failed to see them among the passengers after the passport and customs control at the airport. At 9:30 p.m. Moscow time, more than four hours after landing, the fate of these two young men was still unknown, as stated in the message of the HRC "Memorial" that has arrived to the "Caucasian Knot".

The frontier service said that "they did not detain these persons."

Ahmed Azimov has confirmed that fact that he flew from Cairo together with Maskhud Abdullaev. However, immediately after landing at 5:30 p.m. they were detained by people in civilian and brought to different rooms.

Ahmed Azimov was interrogated for several hours and then released. What happened and happens with Maskhud Abdullaev - he does not know.

Under preliminary information, Maskhud Abdullaev was not announced into search in Russia. According to his mother, she had divorced with Supyan Abdullaev long ago, and her son has no contacts with his father and has nothing to do with his activities.

Maskhud's relatives and human rights activists voice fear that Supyan Abdullaev's son could be detained with the aim to put pressure on his father.
