Father of Turpal-Ali Muskiev exiled from Chechnya buried under control of law enforcers

Turpal-Ali Muskiev, a resident of the village of Tsotsi-Yurt of the Kurchaloi District, who was exiled from his village in January 2017, died in Dagestan several ago and was buried in Chechnya. The funeral took place in the native village of Turpal-Ali Muskiev under the control of law enforcers, local residents report.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on January 12, residents of the village of Tsotsi-Yurt demanded to exile from the village family members of Makhma Muskiev, who was a relative of Isa Muskiev, a militant field commander, who was killed in 2006.

According to a resident of the village of Tsotsi-Yurt, after exile from Chechnya, Turpal-Ali Muskiev lived in Khasavyurt together with his family members.

"The Muskiev family was not allowed to conduct a normal tezet (memorial ceremony)... There were always a lot of military men in uniform, about twenty men, close to them. Probably that's why there were not many people there, since many were afraid to appear," said Akhmad, a resident of the Kurchaloi District.

Let us remind you that in February, Aslanbek Bakharchiev, the seriously ill father of suspected militant Zelimkhan Bakharchiev, expelled from the Chechen village, died in Kalmykia and was buried in Ingushetia. According to residents of Chechnya, the authorities did not allow family members of Aslanbek Bakharchiev to bury him in his homeland.
