Dagestani woman detained for raising money for transfer of children from Middle East

Investigators detained a woman from the Babayurt District of Dagestan, who was raising money under the pretext of transporting children from the Middle East.

The “Caucasian Knot” has reported that Children’s Ombudsperson Anna Kuznetsova has repeatedly reported about the return of children from Syria and Iraq to the regions of Southern Russia. So, on April 19, the Children’s Ombudsperson reported about the return of 44 children from the Middle East to Russia, including to Dagestan, Kabardino-Balkaria, and the Stavropol Territory. According to Anna Kuznetsova, since 2018, 341 children from Russia have been returned to their homeland from Syria and Iraq, 106 children remain in the Al-Hol camp, and documents are already ready for them.

According to various sources, hundreds or even thousands of children from Dagestan, Chechnya, and other regions of the Caucasus still stay in the Middle East. Their lives and health are in particular danger after the “Islamic State” (IS, a terrorist organization, banned in Russia by the court, – note of the “Caucasian Knot”) began to suffer large-scale defeats.

According to the investigators’ version, the “unidentified persons” were raising money by deceiving citizens and promising them “assistance in returning children from the war zone in the Middle East.”
