Power agents beat Nalchik resident Inal Berov, claims his father

Law enforcers have illegally detained and then beat Inal Berov, 29, a resident of Nalchik, asserts his father Muradin Berov. Now, Inal is at large; and his father wants to appeal on the fact to the President of Russia and the head of Kabardino-Balkaria.

According to the father, Inal Berov was detained on March 6 at about 6:30 p.m. in the car service shop in Ingushskaya Street of Nalchik. Muradin Berov told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent that nine men in civilian clothes, armed with submachine guns and pistols broke into the shop, where he worked with his two sons: the elder Nazir and the younger Inal.

Without introducing themselves and explaining nothing, they caught Inal, put him into a car and drove away. As it turned out later, Inal Berov was delivered to the Kabardino-Balkarian MIA, while his kidnappers were agents of the criminal police of the MIA, said the father.

According to Muradin Berov, they began beating Inal already on the way, and then continued in the MIA building, where he was tortured and abused.

"According to Inal, in the course of the beatings and torture he twice lost consciousness. They brought him to his senses and continued beating and torturing," continued Muradin Berov.

According to the father, they wanted to knock out of his son a confession of a crime, which he never committed; having failed to do so, they released him on the following day.

So far, the "Caucasian Knot" has no comments of the MIA of Kabardino-Balkaria and the Department for this republic of the Investigatory Committee of the Russian Federation (ICRF) on Muradin Berov's statement.
