NGO activists assassinated in Grozny were seen at a militia station after kidnapping

Zarema Sadulayeva, leader of the youth NGO named "Let's Save the Generation", and her husband Alik Dzhabrailov, abducted in the afternoon on August 10 and found murdered in the morning on August 11, were brought to one of district militia divisions in Grozny. This was stated by a member of one of local human rights organizations.

"We have information that Zarema Sadulayeva and Alik Dzhabrailov were brought, after they were forced out of their office in the afternoon on August 10, to the Leninskiy District Interior Division of Grozny. It'll be very hard to confirm or refute this information, since power agents, as usually, will deny everything," the source said to the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.

According to his story, those persons, who took Sadulayeva and Dzhabrailov away, presented themselves as employees of some power agency. "Later, they returned to the office of the organization 'Let's Save the Generation' and confiscated some documents, a computer, mobile phones and a car. It is obvious that they were power agents, not mythical militants or 'destructive forces'. Why Sadulayeva and her husband were brought to the militia division - it's not clear," the source has added.

The republic's law enforcement bodies have treated the assertion that Sadulayeva and Dzhabrailov had been brought to Leninskiy ROVD of Grozny as a "canard". "It's a usual media 'canard', a desire to stir up agiotage around this crime and discredit the republic's law enforcement system and the authorities. The investigation is underway into the murder of Zarema Sadulayeva and Alik Dzhabrailov; experts have arrived experts from the Russian Prosecutor's Office, and it's too early to make conclusions, especially with no solid grounds," said a spokesman of local power agencies.

On August 11, President of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov made an assumption that Sadulayeva and her husband fell victims of blood feud.

This Kadyrov's idea finds poor support in the republic. In Chechnya, as well as in the Caucasus as a whole and in other countries, where blood feud is still used, it is not referred to women.

In the opinion of the Investigatory Committee at the Prosecutor's Office (ICPO), the main aim of the criminals could be liquidation of Dzhabrailov, who had been earlier convicted as a militant. Members of the armed underground could kill him of revenge, runs the statement of the ICPO as quoted by the "Gazeta.Ru".
