Ingushetia Prosecutor Reverses Decision To Investigate Journalist's Death
Magomed Yevloyev
March 20, 2009 NAZRAN, Ingushetia -- The Prosecutor's Office in the Russian republic of Ingushetia has withdrawn its intention to investigate the detention of opposition journalist Magomed Yevloyev, who was shot dead last year.
The order for a new investigationhad been issued on March 16.
The Yevloyev family lawyer, Kaloy Akhilgov, tells RFE/RL's Russian Service that if an investigation was launched, all the officials who sanctioned Yevloyev's detention -- and perhaps his killing -- would be brought to trial.
Magomed Yevloyev, who owned the opposition website ingushetia.ru, was detained by police at the Nazran airport upon arriving from Moscow on August 31, 2008.
Later that day, he was brought to the hospital with a gunshot wound to the head and later died. His death was ruled accidental.
His relatives and colleagues insist the police killed him.
The former chief of security for the Ingushetian Interior Ministry, Ibragim Yevloyev (no relation), ...>> full

Ingush Insurgency Approaches Major CrossroadsPublication: North Caucasus Weekly March 20, 2009 05:07 PM Ingush President Yunus-bek Yevkurov (L) and Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov (R)
Militant actions in Ingushetia increasingly are bearing the signs of an uncompromising struggle against the authorities. At times, the news reports from this republic resemble wartime chronicles. The daily news from Ingushetia in the Russian mass media is filled with reports of armed assaults, explosions and attacks on the law enforcement structures.
Against this background, the president of Ingushetia, Yunus-bek Yevkurov, who was appointed to this position by the Kremlin in late October 2008 and who is a former career military intelligence official, still has not determined his tactics with regard to the processes that are unfolding there. In the eyes of the public Yevkurov’s image is Janus-like, two-faced: on the one hand, he visits mosques, meets the population and interacts with human rights advocates; on the other, he ... >> full

CK: In Ingushetia, Human Rights Activists Give Different Estimates To Militants' Amnesty

In Ingushetia, human rights activists give different estimates to militants' amnestyIngush human rights activists find the intention of Ingushetia's authorities to hold peaceful dialogue with militants' helpers to be a stabilizing factor and think that the amnesty is necessary. At the same time, they assess the system of "pardoning", offered by the authorities, as difficult to implement and inefficient.
"I've no idea how this work will be organized. How can head of local administration and district militiaman act? How and by what attributes will they define who is a true helper?" Timur Akiev, head of the HRC "Memorial" in Nazran, asked the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
According to Mr Akiev, if we treat every person who sheltered a relative not knowing about his criminal intentions as a helper, then "all the people in the republic are helpers."
Timur Akiev is sure that any guilt should be proved in the court, including ...

Explosion in Ingushetia was aimed to kill best sappers, militia says
mar 07 2009, 10:00
The explosion in Ingushetia on March 5, which killed bomb technicians and sappers from the FSB and militia, could be a sort of preparation of a huge terror act, and its aim, most likely, was to liquidate the best bomb technicians and sappers of the Republic, as law enforcement bodies assert.
In the opinion of power agents, militants are going to commit another broad-scale terror act, and with this aim they struck a blow in advance on the antiterrorist agencies.
The explosion casualties were the leading sappers and bomb technicians of the FSB Department for the Republic of Ingushetia, the "Kommersant" newspaper writes. Probably, having killed them, the criminals now plan to organize some other terror act in Ingushetia any, as the law enforcers assume.

Bomb blast kills 6 policemen in Ingushetia
Six policemen were killed and two were injured today in a bomb explosion in Russia's troubled North Caucasus region of Ingushetia, a local police source said.
Ingushetia has been one of the most restive parts of Russia of late. Islamist fighters have been pursuing a separatist rebellion, mounting a series of low-level attacks.
The Kremlin sacked the governor of Ingushetia, former secret police chief Murat Zyazikov, last October. It replaced him with a local former paratroop commander, Yunus-Bek Yevkurov, but the move has failed to stop the violence.
"Police tried to defuse a bomb found near a cemetery on the edge of the village of Surkhakhi but it went off as they worked on it," an Ingush police source said.
"Six police died and two are in a serious condition." The bomb was made ... >> full
