Today, the court has considered the complaint of lawyer Sapiyat Magomedova, who was beaten by militiamen on June 17 in the GOVD (City Interior Division) of Khasavyurt. The court has satisfied the petition lodged by Magomedova's advocates and asking to conduct a forensic examination of the records presented by the investigation. According to the defence, the documents have attributes of a service forgery.

Judge Omarova agreed with the arguments of the advocates and appointed the appropriate examination. Upon receipt of the results, the court will resume hearings.

As reported at the trial by advocate Salimat Kadyrova, representing the interests of Sapiyat Magomedova, the case files have a statement of police officer Magdiev of June 24, 2010. Now, a new statement has appeared from somewhere, dated June 21, and registered under the same number as the report of investigator Aslakhanov.
