Daud Mamilov complains about law enforcers' pressure at SIZO

Daud Mamilov, a son of an Ingush MP, accused of involvement with the "Islamic State"*, claims that he was forced to confess. A law enforcer threatens to put him into the dungeon (punishment cell), his advocate informs.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that Daud Mamilov was detained on April 29, 2019. According to investigators, five people, including Daud Mamilov, who lives in Dmitrov, had created a secret IS* unit. Mamilov denies his guilt. Zakriy Mamilov, his father, who opposed the Ingush-Chechen border agreement, has linked his son's criminal prosecution with his own political activities.

Daud Mamilov has complained about a law enforcer's unlawful actions during an inspection of the work of the SIZO (pre-trial prison) No. 5 in Kashira, where he is being kept.

The investigation into Daud Mamilov's case is not over yet, but the law enforcer, who has no respective powers, interferes in the investigation, the advocate, Lyudmila Tolstonogova, told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent. Mamilov told her that he was pressured by the SIZO employee.

"He demanded from Mamilov to confess to the commission of some alleged crimes, and if he refused, he began threatening him with unfavourable custody conditions at the SIZO and placing him into the dungeon," Ms Tolstonogova reported.

* Islamic State (IS, former ISIL) is a terrorist organization banned in Russia by the court
