Editor who covered events in the Caucasus and was kidnapped in Moscow found in Tatarstan
On October 23, Sergey Yezhov, editor of the website "Foreshorten", which covers the situation in Northern Caucasus, was kidnapped in Moscow. Today, Sergey sent a news item about himself from the city of Naberezhnye Chelny (Tatarstan).
Sofia Yezhova, wife of the kidnapped person, told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent that her husband, oppositionist Sergey Yezhov was taken away by unidentified persons, who presented themselves as operative agents of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Tatarstan.
Not so long ago Sergey Yezhov opened an information Internet project "Foreshorten" - a sort of a political Internet newspaper. Recently, the paper mainly covered the problems of Northern Caucasus.
The "Foreshorten" told about the recent Moscow rally in memory of journalist Anna Politkovskaya, who wrote about the tragedies related to the war in Chechnya.
There was also a material about the so-called "Black Hawks" gang - the Russia's ever first youth Caucasian antinationalist grouping, which attacked nationalists in Moscow. The article expressed the idea that justice was too severe with the "Hawks", having sentenced them to 4-7 years of imprisonment.
Recently the website published an article about the first Russian-South-Ossetian forum, held not long ago in Moscow, which told about the complicated conditions, existent today for the population of South Ossetia; the authorities of the republic were criticized.
