Father of serviceman from Dagestan shot dead in Moscow strives to punish the culprits

Father of Jabrail Ibragimov, a soldier from Dagestan who perished in one of the military unit of the Taman Division, has left for Moscow aiming to clarify all the circumstances of his son's death and demand punishment of those guilty according to the law.

According to Khuri Pirsaidova, chair of the Dagestan Committee of Soldiers' Mothers, in 2006, eight servicemen from Dagestan died in the military regiments of the country. "Jabrail Ibragimov was killed not anywhere in Kamchatka, but in the elite troops of the Moscow Military Command, close to the Ministry of Defence of Russia. My indignation has no limits," Ms. Pirsaidova has declared.

Mr. Ibragimov (born in 1983) was drafted to regular service on December 23, 2006, and on December 28, 2006, he was shot dead in the barrack of Military Unit No. 34465.
