Protest action is on in Magas in front of Ingush government

In Ingushetia, the participants of the protest action held in front of the building of the government demand information from the local authorities about the fate Ibragim Tochiev and Zalimkhan Mustolgov, residents of Ingushetia, kidnapped on August 5.

"We were visiting the Mutsolgovs as guests, when armed persons in masks rushed into the house at five in the morning and took our men away," said Leila Tochieva. "They were taken away in their underwear, put into three cars and taken to some unknown place."

Relatives of the kidnapped men had addressed the republic's FSB, Ministry of Internal Affairs and local ROVD (District Interior Division), but all the power agencies said that they knew nothing about whereabouts of Tochiev and Mutsolgov. The third kidnapped man - Aushev - was found by his relatives at the ROVD. However, neither he nor his relatives told anything about the details of the incident.

"For the third day in a row I know nothing about the fate of my son and nephew," said Tanzilya Mutsolgova, Ibragim Tochiev's mother. "Nobody would hear us. We've come here, to the square in front of the government with three-month-old babies - children of our kidnapped sons. Maybe, at least someone will get interested with the fate of our boys."

Relatives are going to continue their action until they know the whereabouts of their kidnapped men.
