Local sources have reported that at least 13 male civilians were abducted in the Russian occupied Chechen Republic of Ichkeria.

According to the information, in early January, armed bandits from the pro-Russian regime organized a late night punishment operation in the village of Alleroy, within the Kurchaloy district. They raided several homes simultaneously. As a result, at least 13 male civilians were abducted. Armed Kadyrovites threatened their families and ordered them not to talk about the incident with any human rights organizations or media representatives.

Six hostages were identified as A.Esuev, P.Minkailov, S.Akhmiyev, Sh.A.Alsultanov, Vakha Osmaev, and Kh.M.Orzamiyev. The identities of the rest remain unknown.

So far, there is no news about their fate, but it is assumed that they are in a hidden prison near Gudermes.
