The father of one of the figurants in the case of raping a minor, who is participating in a hunger strike in Makhachkala, has been hospitalized today to the central hospital because of heart problems.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that the hunger strike organized by relatives of the defendants in the case of the rape considered in Khasavyurt, is held in Makhachkala from December 9. The action is also supported by one of the defendants. The hunger-strikers declare that the case was fabricated.

Investigators believe that the above rape was committed on September 13, 2013, in a hotel-cafe. According to advocate Sapiyat Magomedova, the charges had been presented to nine Khasavyurt residents, one of whom is wanted, and another one was placed in custody.

In the evening ambulance was called Saigid Gadjiev, the father of the defendant Murad Gadjiev, but the man rejected hospitalization.

As of December 18, seven persons continued their hunger strike.
