Aishat Magomedova, who escaped domestic violence, returns to Moscow
At investigator's demand, Aishat Magomedova's father, returned her phone to her, and then allowed her to return to Moscow. The girl is safe, human rights defenders gave informed.
The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that the Investigating Committee of the Russian Federation (ICRF) had refused to accept the application about Aishat Magomedova's abduction. She was returned to her relatives despite the obvious signs of domestic violence, human rights defenders then were outraged.
On July 31 this year, relatives forcibly took Aishat Magomedova, who escaped from domestic violence, from her Moscow apartment. It later became known that the girl was with her relatives in Kizilyurt.
On August 7, after the beatings were recorded, the investigator took Aishat back to her relatives, but demanded that she be allowed to use her phone. Her father gave Aishat her documents and said that she could go wherever she wanted, the human rights group "Marem" has reported.
"Now she is back with her friends; there's no danger to her life," the message says.
Human rights defenders have treated Aishat's return as a victory of all those who supported her and made her story public. "Without publicity, Aishat might not have been found out at all. The demands of Liza (Aishat's girlfriend) would not have been noticed; and the head of the ICRF would not have demanded that this case be taken under his control," the "Marem" group said in its statement.
Alexandra Miroshnikova, the press secretary of the SK SOS Crisis Group*, said earlier that law enforcers were obliged to check the actions of Aishat's relatives. According to Alexandra, Aishat's parents had committed a crime by abducting their daughter.
