Staunton, September 13 – In a report
to Yabloko HQ, Ruslan Mutsolgov, the head of the party’s Ingush branch, said Magas
officials had done possible to prevent opposition candidates from taking part
in the election but added he was encouraged by the party’s successes elsewhere and
by the fact the population in Ingushetia now sees more clearly what the authorities
are up to (fortanga.org/2019/09/obrashhenie-lidera-yabloko-v-ingushetii-po-itogam-vyborov-8-sentyabrya/).
Meanwhile, there were two developments
among Ingush opposition figures under detention. Lawyers for Malsag Uzhakhov, head
of the Union of Teips of the People of Ingushetia, said he had suffered two
heart attacks and needed to be transferred to a hospital (fortanga.org/2019/09/zashhita-soobshhila-o-neobhodimosti-gospitalizirovat-uzhahova/).
And the Russian courts continued the
further extension of detentions for opposition figures. Most were initially detained
for a brief time, then their terms were extended until after the election, and
now they have been lengthened again to the end of the year. Ruslan Dzeytov will now be held until at
least December 25 (zamanho.com/?p=12605).
