Staunton, October 14 – The Russian
authorities have crossed another line in Ingushetia, one that is certain to
infuriate people there and worry people elsewhere: The FSB has arrested
Sarazhdin Sultygov, the leader of the Mehk Khel Movement who recently offended
Chechnya’s Ramzan Kadyrov, and taken him to Grozny.
That suggests that the Russian
security service in this case at least was acting at the direction of the
Chechen leader, yet another reason for Ingush to view Moscow as anything but a
neutral arbiter in the border issue between the republics (zamanho.com/?p=13800, mehkkhel.com/zaderzhan-sopredsedatel-vs-mehk-khel/
and doshdu.com/v-ingushetii-zaderzhali-lidera-obshhestvennogo-dvizhenija-mehk-khel-sarazhdina-sultygova/).
The
Zamanho news agency published a letter from one of Sultygov’s supporters
explicitly linking Kadyrov’s people to this action and saying that the Mekh
Khel leader’s negative comments about the Chechen regime and its land grabs in
the region explain what has taken place (zamanho.com/?p=13815).
