Targeted mop-ups continue in IngushetiaAlikhan Batayev, North Caucasus – Members of Ingush law enformement agencies and federal special services carried out a mopping-up operation in the town of Karabulak on Tuesday, July 6.
A group of about 50 masked people arrived by cars and began checking documents and searching houses in several streets. Four young people had been detained without any charges and taken to an unknown location.
Atset Mutsolgova, mother of Zaur Mutsulgov, one of the detained, said: “At about 11 a.m. some 50 or 60 people in military uniforms broke into our yard. They searched the house without presenting any documents or permissions.
When we tried to learn what the point was and on what basis they acted, we were told in a rough manner to shut up and keep silence. They communicated among themselves in Russian and Ingush. When asked what were they looking for they said - weapons.
The soldiers turned the house upside-down. In one room they opened floors, broke the door of an adjacent space, and took away 15 packs of mineral water, ice cream, cigarrettes, 16,000 roubles, a mobile phone, men’s perfume, and passports of my sons Zaur, Rustam, and Jusup.
Upon their departure, they took my 23-year-old son Zaur with them. They did not explain why and when he would be transported.”
According to various accounts, three out of the detained young people were released in late evening of the same day.
Relatives of all the detained complained at the municipal prosecutor’s office; however, they were told that the office cannot help them in any way.
