Relatives of Chechens Magamadov and Isaev released after detention

In Chechnya, law enforcers detained about 20 relatives of Salekh Magamadov and Ismail Isaev in order to find out where the parents of the young men are, the "Russian LGBT Network" has reported. At night, all the detainees were released.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on February 4, law enforcers took the 20-year-old Salekh Magamadov and his brother Ismail Isaev from Nizhny Novgorod to Chechnya. The young men reported beatings and threats in Chechnya, and that they were forced to sign fabricated confessions.

Akhmed Dudaev, the Minister of Information and Press of Chechnya, said that the young men were suspected of supporting a militant from Aslan Byutukaev's grouping. Law enforcers suspected the gay and the transgender who mocked the religion of aiding militants, said Elena Milashina, a columnist for the "Novaya Gazeta" newspaper.

On March 23, law enforcers detained relatives of Isaev and Magamadov in the village of Komsomolskoye in the Urus-Martan District of Chechnya, said Tim Bestsvet, the press secretary of the "Russian LGBT Network". According to his story, there were no objective reasons for the detention.
