HRC "Memorial": hostage of Chechen law enforcers set free

In Chechnya, law enforcers detained Anzor Aliev, a resident of Ingushetia, and kept him, demanding from his family members to give out his brother. After the intervention of the Russian Ombudsman's administration, Anzor Aliev returned to his family members. This was reported by the Human Rights Centre (HRC) "Memorial".

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on January 23, in Grozny, law enforcers detained Sunzha residents Anzor Aliev and his father Kyuri. On the other day, Kyuri Aliev returned home. However, Chechen law enforcers refused to release Anzor Aliev until they would be given out Shamil, another son of the Aliev family, who had earlier criminal record on the charge for aiding and abetting militants.

Today, the human rights defenders have reported that Anzor Aliev was released in the evening of February 3. At present, he is at home with his family members in Ingushetia.

"In the future, all questions, if any, to members of the Aliev family, Chechen law enforcers are to clarify with the assistance of staff members of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) of the Republic of Ingushetia. The HRC 'Memorial' thanks Tatiana Moskalkova, Commissioner for Human Rights in the Russian Federation, and members of her administration for the quick response to the appeal about the case," reports the statement, received by the "Caucasian Knot" from the Human Rights Centre (HRC) "Memorial".
