The only surviving participant in the seizure was arrested in the Rostov pre-trial detention center

The court in Rostov-on-Don arrested until August 15 Daniil Kamnev, who survived the hostage-taking in pre-trial detention center No. 1. During the storming of the detention center, he was seriously wounded in the head and was in a coma for some time.

Subsequently, Kamnev came to his senses and was able to be interrogated. He was placed in a pre-trial detention center after being sentenced under the article on participation in the activities of an extremist organization. The defendant is a native of Stavropol and previously converted to Islam.

A few days after the incident in the pre-trial detention center, special forces broke into the cells and forcibly shaved off the prisoners’ beards, accompanied by humiliation, insults, beatings and the use of electric shockers. Over 100 people were injured, mostly Muslims and Ukrainian prisoners of war.

Let us recall that on June 16, the “Mujahideen of the Islamic State” (as they called themselves) captured two hostages in pre-trial detention center No. 1 from among the employees of the Federal Penitentiary Service. The prisoners demanded transport and the opportunity to leave the detention center. The Federal Penitentiary Service reported that they died during the assault, the hostages were not injured. It subsequently became known that one of the prisoners survived.

Among the invaders were three natives of Ingushetia - Malik Gandaloev, Shamil Akiev and Azamat Tsitskiev, as well as a native of Chechnya Tamerlan Gireev, Magomed Saipudinov from Dagestan and Daniil Kamnev from Stavropol.
