Local sources have reported that three young men were abducted in the Russian occupied Chechen Republic of Ichkeria.

On January 25th, early in the morning, a group Kadyrovites stopped a car at the entrance to the village of Znamenskoy, within the Nadterechny district. The armed Kadyrovites claimed that the car was stolen, even though the three young men in the car denied the allegation and told them that they bought it. A fight ensued between the young men and the Kadyrovites and as a result, the three men were taken away to an unknown destination.

Later in the day, puppet sources claimed that they arrested the three young men who had attacked local police officers in the village of Kursk, in Russia’s Stavropol region in December of 2010.

The whereabouts and fates of the three young men are unknown.
