Dagestan: two law enforcers convicted for beating detained woman

The Kizilyurt City Court has sentenced two policemen from the Kizilyurt division of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) to three years and four years of conditional imprisonment, finding them guilty of beating a female detainee.

According to the case materials, in the summer of 2019, Magomed Timirov and Shamil Ramazanov beat up the detainee with a cable, men's shoes and slippers in a store and then at the police station located opposite the store. The examination recorded head injuries and bruises on the victim's body.

The law enforcers stated that the victim had slandered them in order to avoid responsibility for the thefts that she had allegedly committed. The above court has found Timirov and Ramazanov guilty of abuse of office; however, the court has treated their large families as mitigating circumstances: one police officer has three children, the other has seven ones; besides, they were positively characterized at work and have sick relatives. The law enforcers appealed against the verdicts, but the Dagestani Supreme Court (SC) has upheld it.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that earlier in Dagestan, the death of Kurban Dalgatov, who died on January 20, 2023, after he was taken to the Makhachkala police department, caused a public outcry. Relatives assert that Dalgatov died of suffocation, which occurred after he "was given electric shocks to his heart area."
