Abductions in Chechnya
Armed people in camouflage uniforms abducted a 28-year-old man in Grozny's Staropromyslovskii district several days ago, according to information provided by local residents. He is a close relative of Mr Malik Saidullayev, a well-known Chechen businessman, according to some reports. The abducted man's whereabouts and further destiny have not been established yet. It is also unknown what served as a ground for his abduction, says a release of the Council of Nongovernmental Organisations which Caucasian Knot's has received.
A group of armed people driving an UAZ vehicle seized and brought away Mr Temirsultanov, 25, resident in Avtury, Shali district, in the evening on 20 December. He was captured in the street, on his way to a friend. Mr Temirsultanov's relatives have since been trying to establish his whereabouts and the reasons for his detention, but all in vain. His further destiny is unknown.
