Dagestan resident complains about law enforcer's torture and threats
In his complaint to Yuri Chaika, the General Public Prosecutor of Russia, Musa Aliev, a resident of the Khasavyurt District, demanded to take the investigation of his application about torture under control. According to Aliev, law enforcers first beat him up, trying to get a confession to raping a girl, and then began threatening his family.
As Musa Aliev told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent on October 23, on September 6, two law enforcers came to his house and invited him to a police station to check him for involvement in the murder of a woman from a neighbouring village, but they immediately brutally beat him up and demanded confession to raping a minor girl.
By the evening on September 6, Aliev was released from the police station. On September 7, an ambulance was called, which took him to hospital.
According to Aliev's statement, a criminal case has been opened against one of the law enforcers regarding abuse of office with the use of violence or with the threat of its use (point "a", Part 3, Article 286 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), in connection with which he and his family members began receiving threats from law enforcers, as Aliev, a resident of the village of Mutsalaul, said in his appeal to Yuri Chaika.
Patimat Nuradinova, an advocate for Musa Aliev, told the "Caucasian Knot" that, at the moment, law enforcers are putting pressure on Musa Aliev's family in order to force him to refute his statement about beatings.
