Power agents release three residents of Stary Cherek

In Kabardino-Balkaria, three of the four residents of the village of Stary Cherek detained during the special operation, have been sent home.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on April 6, four persons were detained in the village of Stary Cherek of the Urvan District of Kabardino-Balkaria. The number of detainees included Arsen Bekov, whose wife claimed that ammunition and drugs had been planted to her husband during the search.

Power agents released villagers Arsen Bekov, Arthur Ivanov, and Arthur Agnokov. The only still detained resident of Stary Cherek is Aslan Kuashev. This was reported by Aralbek Dumanishev, an advocate of Arsen Bekov. According to the advocate, Arsen Bekov was released without any charges.

According to Dinara Dzakuraeva, the wife of Arsen Bekov, her husband never used drugs and was never involved in the armed underground.

The woman feared for her husband's life and argues that one of the power agents openly threatened him. The woman has added that she reported these threats to the Investigating Department for Investigation.

According to Dinara Dzakuraeva, the investigators believe that Arsen Bekov was acquainted with Asadulagi, a resident of Nartkaly, who was later killed during a special operation, and that he could lend him a Gazel car for the transportation of construction materials for dugouts of militants.
