Dagestan: Two Brothers from Makhachkala Disappeared

On March 29th, 2012, Zoya Magomedovna Abdulayeva, a resident of Makhachkala, Dagestan, addressed to the Human Rights Center "Memorial" with a written statement. She informed that on March 7th at 8am, her sons Magomed Temirlanovich Murtuzaliyev, born in 1981, and Abdula Temirlanovich Murtuzaliyev, born in 1982, left the house in a silver-coloured car «Lada Priora» (registration number K356OK, 5th region) towards the sea coast and did not come back.  According to Abdulayeva, everyday, they did their morning exercises there.
Zoya asserts that on March 8th, she visited all the hospitals of the  city but did not find her sons.

On March 10th in the morning, agents of power structures – Muslim Biygishiev, agent of Department of Internal Affairs of Sovetski district of Makhachkala, Malik Dakhaev, district policeman and a silovik in plain clothers, came to her house (Markova St.) where she lives with her youngest son, Abdula.  They started to ask Zoya if her sons prayed,  if they wore beards. They also asked why the brothers had left home without their mobile phones. She answered that her sons used to pray, they wore no beards and they never took mobile phones when they went out to do their morning exercises. The agents of power structures asked if there was some Muslim literature in the house. According to Abdulayeva, they wanted to take away the Koran, but she did not give it to them. Therefore, as Zoya asserts siloviks carried away other books about marriage in Islam, about Muslim prayer. In addition, policemen took away mobile phones of Zoe's sons, their passports and the computer.

As written in Abdulayeva's statement, on the same day, on March 10th, after dinner, the same agents of power structures came to her second son, Magomed (Gagarin St.). His wife Imaniyat Murtuzaliyeva and his father were in the flat. Zoya asserts that policemen carried away Muslim books and the computer.
According to her, books, the passport and the computer were brought back but they are still keeping the cell phones.

On March 13th, Zoya sent a statement to local Federal Security Service of Russian Federation for Dagestan for disappearance of her sons. On March 24th she received an answer that her appeal was addressed to the Republican Prosecutor's office.

Zoya's husband,Temirlan Murtuzaliyev, also sent a letter to the President of  Dagestan, but he did not receive an answer.
On March 28th at 10am, parents of missing men were invited to the Public Prosecutor's office of Makhachkala for a questioning. According to Zoya, the inspector Pirov  asked the same questions as the policemen within the search case.

In Abdulayeva's statement, she asks for help to know the whereabouts of her sons. Zoe is afraid that they were abducted and that their life and health could be under threat.
