Let us remind you that, according to the Sapiyat Magomedova's information, on September 18, Shamil Salatgereev, a resident of the village of Kalininaul of the Kazbek District of Dagestan, detained on suspicion of theft, was tortured by policemen and then tried to commit suicide.

On September 24, Sapiyat Magomedova filed a complaint to the investigating authorities to institute criminal proceedings against staff members of the police department of the MIA for the Kazbek District of Dagestan.

"On September 26, I called the investigator, and I learned that he had lost the complaint about the committed crime. The investigator started to demand that I should come to the Investigating Committee of Khasavyurt and re-file the complaint. After I refused to re-file the complaint, the investigator started to conflict with me on the phone," the advocate stated.
