Five abducted in Chechnya
Officers of unidentified law enforcement / security agencies abducted five residents of Novye Atagi, Shali district, yesterday, a villager told Caucasian Knot's correspondent. The detained ones are all young men, according to him.
"We had another 'clean-up' yesterday. We don't know who exactly conducted it, but people think that those were 'Kadyrovtsy' (officers the Counter-terrorist Centre, former Chechen presidential security service controlled by Ramzan Kadyrov — ed.). Overall, five men were brought away from two families: the Umkhayevs and the Khapayevs. No one knows where they are now and why they were taken," the Novye Atagi resident said.
