"Dagestan Mothers" report another kidnapping

Svetlana Isaeva, a representative of the NGO "Dagestan Mothers," has told the "Sobcor.ru" correspondent that another kidnapping was committed in Makhachkala, the capital of Dagestan. In the evening on August 15 a young man left his home for a walk in the city park and never came back.

According to her, the members of the "Dagestan Mothers" continue their unlimited hunger strike, which will last until they are received by Mukhu Aliev, President of the Republic. So far, the authorities keep silent. To support the hunger-strikers, human rights activists from the "Memorial" Society of the city of Nazran will come to Makhachkala on August 16, the "Kasparov.ru" remarks.

"With the help of our advocates, we want to unite all the kidnappings into one criminal case. We blame particular people from Department 6 of the UBOP (unit to fight organized crime), who are engaged in investigation, of these crimes," Ms Isaeva said.

Besides, according to her story, the office of the public organization is now under repair, and all the attempts of the protesters to rent another room are rejected. The hunger-strikers are sure that the owners of the premises are intimidated by the authorities. Besides, all the official mass media were prohibited to give any information about this protest action.
