Ingushetia: Murad Yandiev and Three Other Detainees Freed
After 10 p.m. on March, 11st, 2012, Murad Yandiev, employee of the
human rights organization “Mashr”, and three men, who were arrested
alongside him on February 29, 2012 in Nazran city, Republic of
Ingushetia, were freed. Let us remind that they were detained in the
apartment of a certain Torshkhoev, from whom was confiscated a large
amount of literature published by the organization “Hizb ut-Tahrir
al-Islami” (“Party of Islamic Liberation”), which is banned in the
Russian Federation (see:

On the same day, Yandiev and the other detainees were held
administratively liable for resisting arrest by the decision of the
municipal judge A.M.-S Tomov. They were arrested for six days.
According to Yandiev’s wife Tamara Maltsagova, Murad served his
sentence at detention center of the police station in the
Malogbeksky District. Furthermore, he was denied access to a lawyer
and couldn’t accept parcels.
On March, 7th, the detainees were not released and the municipal
judge Tomov ordered another five days of administrative detention
for the men (see:

Yandiev and the others served their second administrative detention
in the detention center at the police station of the Sunzhensky
District. The conditions of their detention were examined by M.
Malsagov and I. Gandarov, employees of the Public Monitoring
Committee for Places of Forced Imprisonment in the Republic of
Ingushetia. There were no complaints by the detainees concerning the
confinement conditions in the detention center.
