[KavkazUzel] Magomed Alkhanov, the defendant in the case of the attack on the Pskov paratroopers, and two other natives of Chechnya, as well as one native of Dagestan, were transferred from Rostov's SIZO-1 after the hostage-taking. Alkhanov and the other detainees are not allowed to see a lawyer; human rights activists believe that they may be subjected to torture.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot", Magomed Alkhanov escaped from custody on October 26, 2021, while undergoing a medical examination in a psychiatric hospital department in Astrakhan.| Yes, but was he truly crazy, or old-fashioned Soviet-style drugging-of-troublesome-prisoners “crazy”? |
Security forces put him on the federal wanted list, and the FSIN promised a reward of 100,000 rubles for help in finding him. On November 2, 2021, he was detained. According to investigators, an FSIN employee helped him escape for a bribe of one million rubles.
On June 16, prisoners in Rostov's SIZO-1 took two employees of the detention center hostage. During the assault, the prisoners who took the hostages were killed and the hostages were released. On June 18, it became known that one of the participants in the hostage taking, 28-year-old native of Stavropol Daniil Kamnev, survived and is in intensive care in serious condition. He has been arrested until August 15.
Also arrested was Malik Gandaloyev, a native of Ingushetia, who, according to security forces, participated in the hostage taking in the detention center. The hostage takers declared themselves to be followers of the "Islamic State". The "Caucasian Knot" has prepared a report " Taking of Hostages in the Rostov SIZO " with a chronology of these events.
A native of Chechnya, Magomed Alkhanov, accused in the case of the attack on the Pskov paratroopers, and three other prisoners were suddenly transferred from the Rostov-on-Don pretrial detention center No. 1, where an escape attempt had previously occurred, to the Taganrog pretrial detention center, the Memorial Human Rights Defense Center reported today (the Memorial Human Rights Defense Center has been recognized as a foreign agent).
According to human rights activists, after the assault, Alkhanov and other Muslim prisoners were beaten by special forces. Relatives were afraid to talk about this, so as not to worsen the prisoners' situation. Magomed himself expressed concerns that the security forces would want to present him as an accomplice to the invaders, since some of them were in his cell.
Alkhanov was placed in a solitary confinement cell in Taganrog's SIZO-2, restricted in daily walks, has no access to personal hygiene products, was not given personal items, and cannot even change into clean clothes.
Magomed is not allowed to see a lawyer. The detention center staff say that the man refuses to meet with his lawyer, but his relatives do not believe this. They fear that violence is being used against Alkhanov to obtain a confession about complicity in the preparation of an escape from SIZO-1, the report states.
Along with Alkhanov, at least three prisoners were transferred to Taganrog - two Chechens and a Dagestani. They are also not allowed to see lawyers, human rights activists emphasized.
A recess has been declared in the consideration of the case against Alkhanov, which has been ongoing since December 2022, and the next hearing is scheduled for August 5, according to the case file on the website of the Southern District Military Court.
Magomed Alkhanov, in particular, is accused of involvement in the attack on the Pskov paratroopers in Chechnya. On the night of March 1, 2000, soldiers of the 6th company of the 104th Regiment of the 76th Guards Airborne Division entered into battle in Chechnya with a large detachment of Shamil Basayev and Khattab. The company held off the onslaught of about 2,000 militants for about a day, who were trying to break out of the encirclement. Then 84 of the 90 servicemen died, 370 militants were killed. Among the reasons for the tragedy, analysts name corruption and incompetence of the command and officers, according to the reference material " Battle for Height 776: How the Pskov paratroopers died ", published on the "Caucasian Knot".
