One of the terrorists who took hostages in pre-trial detention center No. 1 in Rostov-on-Don on June 16 survived, RT reported on June 18. We are talking about Dmitry Kamneev, born in 1996. Previously, he converted to Islam and became a supporter of one of its radical movements, a law enforcement source told the TV channel. Kamneev was found guilty of participating in the activities of an extremist organization and after the verdict was pronounced he was in a Rostov detention center. When an ambulance arrived at the pre-trial detention center after the assault, Kamneev was the only one of the criminals who remained alive, and the doctors were able to save his life. Five of Kamneev's accomplices were eliminated. As Regnum reported, on the morning of June 16, in pre-trial detention center No. 1 in Rostov-on-Don, six prisoners were able to get out of their cells and took an operational officer and an inspector-supervisor hostage. The criminals demanded weapons and a car to leave. The invaders called themselves supporters of IS (a terrorist organization whose activities are prohibited in Russia). Three of those who took hostages were preparing to blow up the Supreme Court building in Karachay-Cherkessia in 2023. FSB officers then stopped the crime and detained the attackers. The Investigative Committee opened a criminal case into the incident under Art. 206 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Hostage-taking”). Riot police officers arrived at the pre-trial detention center, and soon after, the FSIN press service reported that the militants had been eliminated, and that none of the hostages were injured. During a search in the pre-trial detention center after the hostage-taking, several prohibited items were seized, regional law enforcement agencies reported on June 17. We also talked about means of communication. This detention center lacks about 30% of staff and at the same time there is an excess of the prisoner limit, Alexey Melnikov, a member of the Human Rights Council and executive secretary of the Moscow Public Monitoring Commission, previously told reporters. |
