Police release Marziyat Gadjikurbanova detained in Dagestan

Marziyat Gadjikurbanova, a resident of Ukraine, taken off a bus at the Gerzel checkpoint with her four children, has been released after spending six hours at the police station. The woman was told that she had been put on the wanted list.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on August 27, at about 3:00 p.m. Moscow time, the police detained Marziyat Gadjikurbanova at the Gerzel checkpoint on the border with Chechnya, when she was travelling by shuttle bus on the route Makhachkala-Kiev. The detained woman was brought to the ROVD (District Interior Division) for the Novolak District, where she was interrogated without an advocate. This was reported by the woman's relatives.

"The police say that I was wanted. They asked several questions and let me go," explained Marziyat Gadjikurbanova.

According to the woman, she visits Dagestan not for the first time during four years, and earlier, the law enforcement agencies had no questions to her during her visits.

Marziyat Gadjikurbanova found out that she was wanted only when she was crossing the border. According to her, most of the questions asked by field investigators concerned her husband.

"They say that he is a criminal and that he stays in Syria. Meanwhile, we stay in Kiev. We have been living in Kiev for four years already," Marziyat Gadjikurbanova said.
