Ingushetia residents indignant about murder of a six-year-old child

The events in Chemulga village, Sunzha District of Ingushetia where a six-year-old child had been killed in the course of a secret operation in a private household caused a wave of indignation among the republic's residents.

"It is the most outrageous violation of human rights out of the recent events on the territory of Ingushetia. A small child who had only started his life suffered not due to some bandit clashes or an accidentally ricocheting bullet, but from a straight shot into his head. This cannot be explained," said Magomed Mutsolgov, head of Ingush autonomous non-profit organization "MASHR", to the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.

As was reported earlier, calls for a national meeting of protest started to be voiced in Sunzha District of Ingushetia in connection with the recent events. According to the "Ingushetia.ru" site, the action during which it is planned to "discuss the situation in the republic and address the President of Russia on behalf of Ingushetia people" is scheduled for November 24 in Nazran.
