HRC "Memorial": Chechen power agents take Ingush resident hostage

For more than a week, law enforcers of Chechnya have been keeping Anzor Aliev, a Sunzha resident, demanding from his relatives to give out his brother, the Human Rights Centre (HRC) "Memorial", where the Aliev family appealed for help, has reported.

The fact that on January 23, power agents detained in Grozny residents of Sunzha Anzor Aliev, born in 1990, and his father Kyuri Aliev, was reported by Bulikhan, Anzor’s mother, who has turned to the office of the HRC "Memorial" in Nazran.

According to Bulikhan Alieva, her son works at the Chechen Ministry of Finance, and his father – at the Republic’s Military Commissariat. On the day of detention, Bulikhan Alieva received several calls from her husband’s telephone with threats that if she failed to bring to Chechnya her second son, Shamil Aliev, born in 1994, "she would never see her husband and Anzor." The mother did not let Shamil go, fearing for his safety.

On January 24, the father, Kyuri Aliev returned home. He told his wife that he came to pick up Shamil.

"Power agents threatened him that if he failed to obey, they would declear Anzor, whom they keep hostage, a terrorist and put to prison for long,” says the statement of the HRC "Memorial", received today by the "Caucasian Knot".
