Dagestani law enforcers find way to use prophylactic registry measures

In Dagestan, law enforcers make use of the measures of the cancelled prophylactic registry by applying the law "On Operative-Investigative Activities", the "Novaya Gazeta" writes after studying the situation in a Makhachkala private kindergarten.

Earlier, the "Caucasian Knot" reported the complaints of the employees of the kindergarten named "Flowers of Life" in Makhachkala about the pressure of policemen on the employees and the parents who bring children to the kindergarten.

Elena Masyuk, the author of the article "Special Yet Illegal Control" in the above newspaper, notes that people in Dagestan admit, in private conversations, that every woman wearing hijab is still under special supervision.

In 2010, thousands of people were put under special "extremist" account in Dagestan, Ms Masyuk writes.

In particular, this was done with the family of Bella Magomedova, a teacher of literature, who runs the "Flowers of Life" kindergarten in Makhachkala since 2014. The woman states that this was confirmed by disappearance of her father in 2012.

According to Magomedova, law enforcers believed that her father, a disabled person without legs and arms, could be linked with militants.

Also, her grandchildren aged six and eight are on the police's registry.

Madina Magomedova, Bella's sister has added that law enforcers are used to come to their kindergarten and conduct searches for four years in a row.
