At their action held at the village administration, relatives and friends of Musa Aliev, a resident of the Dagestani village of Mutsalaul, arrested on suspicion of rape, who has stated that he was tortured, demanded to release him from custody.

Relatives went out to a protest action after they learned about the "order from above" to imprison either two policemen or Musa Aliev, Musa's wife, Zulbika Shamsudinova, has reported.
