Human Rights Center “Memorial” has reported that on June 1, the officers of the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) detained a resident of Yandare village of Nazran district in Ingushetia.

The “siloviks” cordoned the street off, and afterwords conducted a search of the house, without presenting any documents. They asked for Suleyman Khashagulgov, born in 1979, who at that time was at work, but they did not explain the reason why they were interested in him. Suleyman’s relatives promised that they themselves would bring him to the investigative authorities. The same day Khashagulgov Suleyman and his father came to Akhmed Kotiev, the Secretary of the Security Council of the Republic of Ingushetia to enlist the support of the republican authorities and to obtain security guarantees for Suleyman. Kotiev promised them that he will personally attend his interrogation.

On June 1, Suleyman and his relatives came back to the Security Council. Around 10.00am together with the employees of the Security Council named Vitaly they went into the building of the Russian Federation Security Service of Ingushetia in Magas town.
