Azerbaijani citizen complains about persecution of his family in Russia

Tatiana Syrycheva, a mother of three children, has confessed to calls for terrorism under pressure of law enforcers. Her husband, a citizen of Azerbaijan, Ramil Ibragimov, has linked this with his refusal to cooperate with special services.

Tatiana Syrycheva, 34, a native of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, is suspected of publicly justifying terrorism and calling for terrorist activities via the Internet, says the complaint lodged by her advocate.

The advocate has explained that Tatiana's children were taken to children's reception centres; and she was exposed to psychological pressure. As a result, Syrycheva gave a confession, after which she was placed under house arrest. She took her children home; and on July 8, Syrycheva, according to her advocate, signed her confession, drawn up in advance.

The advocate believes that law enforcers acted "contrary to their official powers, by pursuing the aim of obtaining Tatiana's confession." She insists on a check of the abuse of power by law enforcers.

On September 24, Ramil Ibragimov, Tatiana's husband, told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent that he is currently a master trainee at the Department of Arabic Linguistics at the University of Qatar. According to his version, his wife has never called for any illegal actions; and pressure on her had to do with his refusal to cooperate with special services.
