Staunton, April 10 – Two Ingush
protest leaders, Bagaudin Myakyev and Ruslan Dzeytov, whom a Stavropol court ordered
released from detention to house arrest have not been set free, with jail
officials saying they haven’t received the necessary documents and blaming the mails
for that even though they were present by video conference when the judge gave
his order.
The lawyers of the two are concerned
about what may be a delaying tactic (fortanga.org/2020/04/dvuh-uchastnikov-protestov-ne-vypuskayut-iz-sizo/)
especially because other courts have ordered Ingush activists released but then
nothing has happened. One today involves Zakri Bopkhoyev, now held in
Kabardino-Balkaria.
That republic’s Supreme Court ordered
that he be released from preliminary detention and be under house arrest today,
but as of the evening, the republic interior ministry has not posted that order
and Bopkhoyev remains behind bars (kavkaz-uzel.eu/articles/348195/).
Officials have not made any comments at all.
Adding urgency to these cases is
that the pandemic is spreading rapidly in the North Caucasus. There are now 29 confirmed
cases in Ingushetia alone, up from 25 the day before. And many fear that this
virus will spread even more rapidly in detention centers than in the population
at large (doshdu.com/v-ingushetii-severnoj-osetii-i-dagestane-vyroslo-chislo-zabolevshih-koronavirusom/).
