Young Slovak reported missing in Northern CaucasusRuslan Isayev, Northern Caucasus - Miriam Yevikova, who worked for the Organisation for Aid to Refugees (OPU) in the Czech Republic, disappeared in the Northern Caucasus a week ago.
Yevikova had allegedly spent a few days in the southern Russian town of Pyatigorsk; from her hotel she phoned friends in Nazran, asking them to meet her at the Ossetian-Ingush border. However, she did not show up there at the appointed time, yet they were receiving SMS messages from her.
The Prague-based OPU, which does not have a mission in the Northern Caucasus, expressed grave concern about her as no information about her whereabouts has so far been received.
Miriam Yevikova has repeatedly visited the Northern Caucasus; and as a native Slovak she worked for OPU and contributed to one of the Czech newspapers. In the Czech Republic she went in for problems of Chechen refugees.
