Relatives of Dagestani resident Zamir Pashaev report on his kidnapping

Relatives of Zamir Pashaev, a resident of Derbent, a staff member of the "RZhD" (Russian Railways), have reported on his kidnapping. According to the police, Zamir Pashaev was never brought to the Derbent GOVD (City Interior Division).

31-year-old Zamir Pashaev was kidnapped on May 18, when he was in the village of Berikei of the Derbent District of Dagestan. This was told to the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent by Anakhanum Kadirova, the mother of Zamir Pashaev.

"During recent several days, we were outside the city: we went to express our condolences to our relatives, since my nephew died. And yesterday we returned home to Derbent. However, my son said he would visit the village of Berikei, where we were building a house, and would return home. The last time I phoned him in the afternoon, and Zamir told me that he would spend some more time at the house and then come back to Derbent," Anakhanum Kadirov has said.

According to the woman, in the evening, she again phoned her son, but he did not answer.

Zaimat, the wife of the disappeared man, said that one day, her husband together with other mosque-goers was taken from the mosque in Derbent to the police station for registration.

According to her, the relatives have already appealed to the Derbent GOVD. According to the Zamir Pashaev's relatives, their sources in the law enforcement bodies reported that Zamir Pashaev "was under surveillance and was detained."
