About 20 people went out to an unsanctioned action in Makhachkala, demanding to punish those guilty of killing Gasanguseinov brothers and clarify the fate of others missing. They handed their appeal addressed to Vladimir Vasiliev, the acting head of Dagestan, to Mayoralty employees.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on March 7, Murtazali Gasanguseinov, the father of the brothers, who were shot dead in the Shamil District of Dagestan, held a picket in Makhachkala.

The today's action was attended by the people sympathetic to the parents of murdered brothers and the women, whose sons had disappeared in Dagestan; they demanded that Mr Vasiliev accept them.

Madina Magomedova, an activist, said that she would continue her actions demanding a fair investigation into the brothers' killing and punishment for perpetrators.

Mothers of missing Dagestanis have also demanded from the authorities to find their sons and bring their kidnappers to justice.
