Statement

I, Evloev Adam Magomedovich, is a cousin of abducted Evloev Islam Magomedovich, DOB 1986.

On July 24, 2010, Islam went to the city of Stavropol with his mother since Islam needed medical examination and further medical treatment due to his health condition. On their arrival they rented a two-room apartment at the following address: 223 Lenina street, 82. After examination had been over, the mother left home in a few days, and Islam stayed at the above-mentioned address so as to receive further out-patient treatment. Islam is a student of the Moscow branch, economics and law faculty in the city of Rostov-na-Donu.

On August 13, 2010, at about 10 p.m. Islam and our relative, Gazdiev Akhmed Bekhanovich, DOB 1989, a 5-year student of economic faculty of GMU of the city of Stavropol, were detained and abducted by officers of unidentified security agencies near the entrance to the house where Islam and his mother rented the apartment. They were driving a white Gazel car with no state number plates, wearing army camouflage uniform, masks, helmets, and with arms in their hands. We were informed so by the neighbors and the house residents who witnessed the abduction of Islam and Akhmed.

During the whole period starting from 13.08.2010 up to the current moment there’s no information on their whereabouts at our disposal.

I earnestly ask you to assist in finding my brother, Evloev Islam Magomedovich, DOB 1986, and the relative, Gazdiev Akhmed Bekhanovich, DOB 1989.
