"Memorial" Human Rights Center: Tsoloyev kidnapped in Ingushetia had had a militia record

The editorial board of "Caucasian Knot" has got a message from "Memorial" Human Rights Center informing that Arthur Tsoloyev, brother of Zurab Tseloyev (Tsoloyev) kidnapped on October, 29, by armed people wearing masks and camouflage uniform from his home in Nazran, who according to official information had installed a fougasse in the center of Nazran, perished in 2008. After that Zurab got a militia record.

Magomed Tsoloyev, another Zurab's brother born in 1978, was detained on August, 31, 2007, in the town of Nazran for suspicion of blasting a "VAZ" car when four officers of Nazran Municipal Department of Interior Affairs perished as a result of the explosion and Musa Ozdoyev who was near the scene of the accident got an insignificant missile wounding.

Elezaveta Tsoloyeva, Zurab Tsoloyev's mother, had formerly informed a reporter of "Caucasian Knot" about his kidnapping. Tsoloyev's relatives do not yet know where he is. They have appealed to human rights organizations asking for help in Zurab's search.

According to Aminat Malsagova, Zurab Tsoloyev's wife, when unknown people burst into the house Zurab got frightened and climbed out of the window. He was seized, beaten up and kept undressed on the ground until the search of the house ended. After the search the strangers took him away not even letting him dress up. They did not explain why he had been detained and where he would be taken to.
