Djumaev, native of Chechnya, placed into dungeon for second time in a month

Said-Mukhammad Djumaev, a native of Chechnya, sentenced to five years in prison for using violence against law enforcers, has been placed into the dungeon (punishment cell) for the second time within a month.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on January 31, it became known that Djumaev had been transferred to the punishment cell (also known as ShIZO). His relatives believe that the colony staff used this measure deliberately in order to disrupt his meeting with his mother.

After leaving the ShIZO, Djumaev managed to meet his mother, his aunt reported in the Instagram**. According to her story, the disciplinary commission of the colony decided, immediately after his release from the ShIZO, to transfer him to strict custody conditions (SCC). "Being under the SCC excludes the possibility of the conditional early relief (CER) ... Their main argument was that he is a political prisoner; and this is worse than killing a person," Djumaev's aunt believes.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that Ramzan Kadyrov criticized Djumaev, stating that he had harmed the people of Chechnya and acted unmanly by hiding from law enforcers after the rally.
