Detentions

Four residents of Ingushetia were detained on July 13 and 15. According to the investigators’ version, in 2011-2015, the men were aiding and abetting the people while being aware that they were militants. The suspects supplied the members of the armed underground with food and transported them in cars across the territory of Ingushetia.

On July 17, the police detained a suspect in a case on an armed attack on policemen who were guarding the central republican hospital in Nazran in June 2014. The suspect became the sixth detainee in the case.

The ECtHR recognized that Articles 3 (prohibition of torture and inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment) and Article 13 of the European Convention on Human Rights (right to effective remedy) were violated with regard to Eldar Orazbaev, Muslim Zulkarnaev, Timur Satabaev, and Umar Chapanov.
