Tumso Abdurakhmanov wrote on his Telegram channel about the kidnapping of his wife’s relatives. “This morning, in Astrakhan, my wife’s relatives were kidnapped: my wife’s mother Ravza Osmanovna Shaidova and my wife’s sister Asiyat Gasanovna Aibazova. The wife’s sister was summoned to the local department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA), forced into a car with region 95 on the state registration numbers, and taken to Chechnya. The wife’s mother was kidnapped from home,” Tumso Abdurakhmanov wrote.

In addition to his wife’s relatives, the other Tumso Abdurakhmanov’s relatives are still being held hostage, including mother’s brother Salambek Mairbekovich Khasarov, cousin Takhmina Zelimkhanovna Abdurakhmanova, and nephew Deni Inalovich Abdurakhmanov, Tumso Abdurakhmanov wrote in his post.
