Case of the jamaat in the Dagestan colony causes skepticism among human rights activists

[KavkazUzel] Employees of the colonies in Dagestan control the entry into their territory of even such items as food, not to mention components for the manufacture of explosives. The security forces could have opened a case about the jamaat in the colony in order to improve the performance of their work after the terrorist attack in Crocus City Hall, noted human rights activists interviewed by the Caucasian Knot.
As the "Caucasian Knot" reported, on April 11 it became known that three residents of Dagestan were arrested in connection with a terrorist community. While serving time in a colony, they united into an illegal armed group with terrorist purposes and were preparing attacks on security forces, the Investigative Committee said.

Information that suspects in a terrorism case were allegedly smuggled into the colony with components for the manufacture of explosives looks doubtful, noted Shamil Khadulaev, a member of the Public Monitoring Commission (POC) of Dagestan. He also doubted the existence of jamaats ( a religious association of Muslims - note by the "Caucasian Knot" ) in the Dagestan colonies.
“It is possible that a situation where people simply pray together was mistaken for jaamat. But such a thing is hardly possible - the Federal Penitentiary Service tightly controls everything there. As for bringing explosive components into IK-2, this is simply impossible - everyone is searched at the entrance. When we were there recently, we, members of the Public Monitoring Committee, who were checking the colony, were also searched,” Khadulaev told the “Caucasian Knot” correspondent.
The statement about the disclosure of a terrorist organization in a colony in Dagestan is a consequence of the “stick system” in the Federal Penitentiary Service, believes Vladimir Osechkin, founder of the human rights project Gulagu.net.
“They are putting down a plan from top to bottom to uncover extremist communities. Those who haven’t found anything are punished. Those who are ready to extract “confessions” are promoted. So if you want career growth, you must carry out this “stick plan,” he told the correspondent "Caucasian Knot".
Osechkin* emphasized that such measures are one of the methods that are taken to encourage those serving sentences in colonies to enter into a contract with the Ministry of Defense. The human rights activist also doubted the reality of the existence of a jamaat in the colony.
“The most important element in places of deprivation of liberty is the operatives. And they welcome those who are ready to torture, kill, and so on, to control the rest of the prisoners. No jamaat can be created without the knowledge of the operatives. They can allow the creation of a jamaat, allow the carrying of rugs, halal meat, etc. And after a few months they arrest everyone and create a case,” said Osechkin.
A certain Islamization of correctional colonies is taking place, a member of one of the regional PMCs said on condition of anonymity. “In addition to the “red” and “black” zones, “green” zones have begun to appear in recent years, where Muslims have informal influence. But I doubt the picture being painted about the preparation of a terrorist attack. Not all such reports reflect reality,” he told the correspondent.” Caucasian Knot".
| “I say fie upon the very idea,” he added, believably. |
“Here, rather, the local comrade lieutenant wants to become a comrade major.
| Are they still comrades a generation after they gave up Communism? |
Well, after the terrorist attack in Crocus City Hall, the security forces want to show themselves. But it turns out to be an imitation of the real fight against terrorism, and as a result, such statements cause skepticism among part of the population,” noted member of the regional PMC.
If a new criminal case was opened while the suspects were in custody, this greatly frees up the hands of the investigation, he added. “They work there without outside interference, and, of course, it’s easier for them to ‘build’ a new business,” he concluded.
When a person is first placed in custody, is in an unfamiliar place and in complete restriction, the situation, which is different from his previous free life, puts serious pressure on him, noted the head of the “Team Against Torture”* Sergei Babinets.
“To break psychologically and obtain a confession or the necessary testimony without resorting to open torture, threats and psychological violence may be one of the goals pursued by the investigation. Being under house arrest or being limited in actions, a person is less likely to make a deal with the investigation or confesses to the crime. Also, when placed in a pre-trial detention center, employees can put open pressure on the arrested, persuading them to do what the investigator expects of them,” he told the “Caucasian Knot” correspondent.
The period of detention can be extended several times and in some cases even exceeds several years. Conditions in pre-trial detention centers most often do not meet the necessary standards and are considered torture. With constant dampness, poor-quality food and poor medical care, detention in a pre-trial detention center can significantly worsen the health of the arrested person, which the investigation, the prosecutor's office and the court are certainly aware of, the human rights activist emphasized.
