Human Rights Center “Memorial” has reported that a teacher and his students were abducted by armed thugs from the pro-Russian regime in the Russian occupied Chechen Republic of Ichkeria.

According to the information, on August 11, armed and masked Kadyrovites in camouflage conducted punishment operations in Gudermes. At around 4:00am local time, the Kadyrovites went to 30 Griboyedov Street in three silver “Lada Priora” cars. They broke into the yard and took out 30-year old Roman Magomadov who teaches religious lessons to young people in a madrasah in Gudermes. Around the same time, armed Kadyrovites abducted Roman’s two students: Rustam Akhmedovich Seliyev, born in 1986, who resides on Novogroznensky Street and Viskhan Ruslanovich Geliskhanov, born in 1987, who resides on Kirov Street.

The fate and whereabouts of the hostages are unknown at the moment.
