[KavkazUzel] The court extended the detention of Zaur Magomedov, who is accused of involvement in the militant attacks in Derbent and Makhachkala, by three months. The arrest was extended despite complaints from Magomedov's defense that the evidence in the case was falsified, the lawyer said. As reported by the "Caucasian Knot", on July 19, relatives of Zaur Magomedov, accused of involvement in the militant attack in Derbent and Makhachkala, stated that security forces had planted evidence during a search of his home. The conclusion following a visit to Magomedov in the pretrial detention center, during which he spoke about torture, was sent to the prosecutor's office, noted the chairman of the Public Monitoring Commission of Dagestan, Shamil Khadulaev. On July 16, it became known that Zaur Magomedov complained about torture in the detention center. On August 27, the court extended Zaur Magomedov's detention for three months, despite the fact that his defense had previously complained about the falsification of the charges, lawyer Magomed Musayev said today. He noted that the defense would appeal the extension of Magomedov's arrest. Musayev also said that the administration of the temporary detention facility in Makhachkala, where his client is being held, had delayed responding to the lawyer's request about whether Magomedov had actually been tortured. "In a few days there will be a month, which by law is the maximum period for providing a response. We will wait a few days for a response to the request in order to attach the data recorded in the journal of this temporary detention facility to our complaints," the lawyer told a "Caucasian Knot" correspondent. Musayev added that after he joined the case, Magomedov stopped complaining about torture. "We would not have allowed it. But so that our statements are not unfounded, and we can attach evidence, we are waiting for a response from the temporary detention facility of the Makhachkala Department of Internal Affairs, where, according to Zaur, his bodily injuries as a result of beating and torture are recorded in the journal," Musayev explained.
