The family of the Dagestan native is demanding an investigation into the actions of Moscow law enforcement officers.

Law enforcement officers detained a doctor from Dagestan in Moscow under the pretext of checking documents, then insulted her, tore off her hijab, and kept her in handcuffs at the station, the girl's family reported. Relatives are demanding an investigation into the actions of the law enforcement officers and their accountability. Both the muftiyat and deputies should get involved in protecting the girl's rights, commentators pointed out.

The girl's story outraged commentators

A resident of Moscow stated that police officers tore off her hijab, called her a monkey, and handcuffed her to a chair after she failed to show her passport.

25-year-old Fatima A. was stopped by police in the Vykhino-Zhulebino area and asked to present documents. She did not have her passport with her, so the girl showed its electronic version on "Gosuslugi," reported "Caution, news."

According to a relative of the girl, Fatima asked the officers to identify themselves and check a drunk man at the playground. In response, the police insulted her, adding that she had no right to instruct them. The girl tried to film the incident on her phone, at which point the officers began to twist her arms and then snatched and threw away her device. During the detention, they tore off her hijab, and when she asked to free one hand from the handcuffs to adjust it, the police began to mock her. On the way to the station, they insulted her, calling her a monkey. At the station, Fatima refused to get out of the car without her hijab—the police grabbed her by the neck, twisted her arms, and pulled her out of the vehicle. Inside, they handcuffed her to a chair. For an hour and a half, she asked to be given a phone to call, but the officers ignored her requests, the report states.

The press service of the Interior Ministry for the Southern Administrative Okrug of Moscow stated that the girl refused to present her passport, behaved aggressively, and did not comply with the requirement to proceed to the police station. As a result, according to the agency, the police used physical force. An administrative protocol was drawn up against Fatima under part 2 of article 20.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation for petty hooliganism with disobedience to the lawful demand of a representative of the authorities. The Kuzminsky District Court imposed a fine of one thousand rubles on her.

The message was reposted on the Telegram channel by the head of the Public Monitoring Commission for Dagestan, Shamil Khadulaev, and it received 28 comments.

"Where is the muftiyat? Why are they silent?" asked Makhach Abdulatipov.

"Where are the deputies - Hamzaev, Abakarov, Nurbagandov?" inquired KT.

"Such things don't happen with Chechen women. An older brother will make them apologize," expressed Muslim.

The family is demanding an investigation into the actions of the law enforcement officers.

Fatima Aliyeva is a therapist. At the time of the incident, she was heading to work, where patients were waiting for her. According to eyewitnesses, the police acted aggressively, insulted the girl, and did not allow her to put on a scarf that, it is claimed, was torn from her when she was pushed into the car.

The victim sees signs of unjustified use of force during the detention, violations of the right to freedom of religion, and humiliation of human dignity, as well as illegal detention at the police station in the actions of the police.

Fatima underwent a medical examination to document her injuries. The girl intends to contact the prosecutor's office with a request to investigate the actions of the police officers, writes the Telegram channel "Ask Rasul".

The ombudsman of Dagestan, Zapir Alkhassov, reacted to the publication, stating in his Telegram channel that he sent a request to the prosecutor of Moscow for an investigation and measures to be taken within his competence.

Deputy of the Dagestan parliament Sadruidin Aigubov also reported in his Telegram channel that he sent requests to the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in Moscow and the Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation in Moscow. "I ask for a legal assessment of the circumstances of the girl's delivery to the police station, the grounds for the use of physical force and special means against her, as well as to verify the information about the insulting treatment, the removal of the hijab, and the restriction of her ability to contact relatives," he indicated.

The family of the girl from Dagestan, who reported violence by the Moscow police, thanked the Representative Office of the Republic.

The sister of the Dagestan native, who reported the use of physical force by police officers in the Moscow district of Vykhino-Zhulebino, expressed gratitude to the Permanent Representation of Dagestan to the President of the Russian Federation. "For our family, it is very important that the circumstances of what happened are objectively considered, and the actions of the police officers receive the appropriate legal assessment," writes the Telegram channel "What’s up with the Dagestanis".

She thanked the Representative Office for their attention to the situation, readiness for a personal meeting, and assistance in protecting her sister's rights, including in cooperation with State Duma deputies.
