The Public Monitoring Commission of Dagestan received a statement from the mother of Shamil Sadulaev, who died on December 8, 2023 in pre-trial detention center No. 1 of Makhachkala. “The appeal is due to the fact that the mother was declared “sudden death of an unknown cause,” and also that “no signs of violent actions were found.” But judging by the photographs sent of Sadulaev’s corpse, there are traces and abrasions on the corpse,” he said in his Telegram - channel Deputy Chairman of the Public Monitoring Committee of Dagestan Shamil Khadulaev.
The mother of Shamilya Sadulaeva, who died in pre-trial detention center-1 of Makhachkala in December 2023, Sabina Sadulaeva, is sure that her son was killed. She said that her son ended up in a Makhachkala pre-trial detention center on charges of calls for terrorism. “He was 26 years old, and he didn’t work anywhere, because he was first imprisoned for three years on charges of theft (he spent the first year in Moscow, and then he was transferred to Dagestan). I don’t know what they did with him there, but he went to prison as a hooligan, and came out charged under Article 205.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Public calls for terrorist activities, public justification of terrorism or propaganda of terrorism.” They wanted to take him away right during his release from the colony in Tyube, I then came to pick him up and I see him They take me away, and he shouts: “Mom, they’re taking me away!” she told the Caucasian Knot correspondent .
As Sabina Sadulaeva noted, she managed to get her son released under house arrest after contacting the Investigative Committee for Dagestan. After that, Shamil, according to her, sat at home with a bracelet on his ankle and went monthly to extend his house arrest.
“On December 28, 2023, the trial was supposed to begin in Rostov-on-Don, and on November 30, 2023, he went to court for another extension. He was picked up right in court and taken away. And only on December 4, 2023, I was able to find him in the pre-trial detention center. 1, and on December 5, 2023, I handed over a parcel with food and winter things. But on December 8, 2023, they called me from the morgue and said that they had his body,” she said.
Sabina Sadulaeva reported that when she received her son’s body for funeral, she took a number of photographs that showed serious bodily injuries. At the same time, according to Sadulayeva, the investigator of the investigative department of the Sledkom of the Kirov region, Gyulmagomedov, initially told her that we were talking about a beating. But later he began to claim that he had not said anything like that, and Sadulaev was injured by falling from the bed, although the video recording from the camera shows that he died while sitting. The prosecutor's office claimed that Sadulayev did not receive any serious bodily injuries.
In the response of the Russian prosecutor's office for Dagestan dated January 22, signed by the senior assistant to the prosecutor of the republic on supervision of the legality of the execution of criminal penalties, justice adviser S. Muradov ( at the disposal of the "Caucasian Knot" ), it is indicated that during the preliminary examination of Sadulaev's body there were "traces of a struggle and no signs of violence,” as well as “visible bodily injuries,” were not found. The prosecutor's office stated that the preliminary version of his death was “poisoning with an unknown substance (narcotic),” and the bodily injuries that were noted in the photographs “were not the cause of death.”
The document states that the prosecutor's office discovered "gross violations of the law in terms of ensuring the protection of suspects and supervision of them, as well as their material, living and medical support <...>, which did not allow taking measures to timely identify the deterioration of it < Sadulayev’s health and subsequent death, as well as the provision of immediate primary medical care,” after which a corresponding submission was made to the Federal Penitentiary Service of the republic on December 13, 2023, and seven employees of the Federal Penitentiary Service were brought to justice. The response also stated that the Dagestan prosecutor’s office is awaiting receipt of a forensic medical examination report, including on the failure to provide medical assistance and the reasons for the appearance of injuries on Sadulayev’s body.
At the same time, in the response of the Kirov District Prosecutor's Office of Makhachkala, signed by the acting Deputy District Prosecutor, Junior Counselor of Justice A. Gamidov, noted that the decision made by investigator Gyulmagomedov on January 7 to refuse to initiate a criminal case into the death of Sadulaev “due to the absence of a crime” was canceled on January 15 as “illegal and unfounded.”
Sabina Sadulayeva added that they even refused to give her her son’s things, claiming that they were either burned or thrown away as if they were stained with urine and feces. Even the passport was given back only after an appeal to the Investigative Committee of Russia, stating that at the time of arrest Sadulayev allegedly had no passport. “But how could he get into the courthouse without a passport?” - asked Sabina Sadulaeva.
