Resident of Ingushetia kidnapped, whereabouts still unknown

Timur Yandiyev, 25, was abducted at 5 p.m. on March 16 in the center of Nazran, Ingushetia, and his relatives are still in the dark about his fate. According to eyewitnesses, unknown armed men forcibly bundled Yandiyev into a white Niva car as he was leaving the building of Ingushenergo Company and drove off to an unknown destination.

Magomed Ozdoyev, manager of ITT Company where Yandiyev worked, states there was no reason for his arrest. "He belonged to no radical Islamic movement and worked as an on-duty manager in our company. Besides, he was from a well-cultured family; his grandfather is the well known Ingush writer Akhmed Vedzizhev," he said.

According to Shakhman Akbulatov, an employee of the human rights center Memorial, a wave of similar abductions seems to be taking place in Ingushetia.

"This started about a year and a half ago. And the "moping up operations" have now spread from the Chechen Republic to neighboring Ingushetia," declared Akbulatov.
