The detention of residents of the settlement of Tersky had to do with a discussion of the situation in Syria, their relatives have informed.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that relatives told about the detention, on February 11, of three residents of Chechnya and complained that they knew nothing about their whereabouts. On February 16, it became known that law enforcers released one of them.

"Some investigative actions and prophylactic work was conducted with them ... There were unnecessary talks and discussion of what is happening in Syria," said a relative of one of the detainees.

There are no claims on the part of law enforcers to the released Grozny resident, his acquaintance has explained. "He just got under control because of his communication with unnecessary people. They polled him and checked his phone," he has added.

The reason for detention was the correspondence in the phone of one of the residents of Chechnya about the events in Syria, the "Kavkaz.Realii" reports with reference to its sources.
