Another abduction in Alkhan-Yurt and Urus-Martan, an inconclusive rally of residents of the village. Michurin

June 27, 2001

On the night of June 27, in the city of Urus-Martan, employees of the Russian law enforcement agencies detained Muslim Khasanovich Khazhgiriev. At the same time, his parents were beaten. The "siloviki" did not show the decision of the prosecutor's office to conduct a search in the house and an arrest warrant.
The corpse of Muslim Khazhgiriyev was found in the garden of the state farm named after Michurin, Urus-Martan district, on the afternoon of June 28. He was thrown there by the Russian military, who arrived in a Ural car.

Residents of the Grozny city settlement of Michurin, outraged by the incorrect coverage in the media of the circumstances of the shootout between two columns of Russian troops near checkpoint No. 5, which resulted in civilian casualties, went to the rally.

Soon, representatives of the military and civil administration of the Oktyabrsky district, to which this settlement belongs, arrived there: the acting military commandant, Lieutenant Colonel Nikolai Vasilievich Kostromov, the first deputy head of the district administration, Gafur Khadzhimuradov, and the head of the administrative-territorial district for work with refugees, Uvais Khasanovich Isaev.

Residents of the village claimed in their speeches that the disseminated information about the attack of militants on a Russian convoy near Khankala was a "gross lie." In response, representatives of the commandant's office and the administration of the Oktyabrsky district assured them that a "comprehensive" verification of the circumstances of the incident would be carried out. However, as Uvais Isaev said, this is hard to believe. And until the last incident, local residents repeatedly complained to higher authorities about the unprovoked shelling of the village and the nightly robberies of the population living there by the Russian military. No action was taken on all these numerous facts.

In the settlement of Michurina, under the influence of the campaign for the return of refugees from Ingushetia, from March to May 2001, about 200 families returned. They began to restore their destroyed houses, tried to somehow improve their life, but in the end, many of them were forced to return to the camps for fear of being captured or killed.

From 9:00 pm to 10:00 pm, seven people were taken away from the village of Alkhan-Yurt in the Urus-Martan district. They were captured: 25-year-old disabled person of the second group Musa Khozhaevich Baysaev, 24-year-old Adlan Abubakarov, 23-year-old Mansur Dzhaubatyrov, cousins Mallaev, Dutaev and another person whose name and surname could not be established.
The circumstances under which everything happened caused serious concern among the villagers. In Alkhan-Yurt, there was a small group of military men who arrived in a cargo Ural, covered with an awning. All captured people were loaded onto it, after which the car disappeared in an unknown direction.

HRC "Memorial" does not have any information about the further fate of the abducted residents of this village.
