Homeland and mother

The 34-year-old Zagidat Abakarova and 25-year-old Muslimat Kurbanov, who voluntarily returned from Syria under the guarantee of Ramzan Kadyrov, were detained in Dagestan. This was reported by RIA Novosti with reference to a member of the Human Rights Council under the head of Chechnya Hed Saratov.

Women are in the temporary detention of the Soviet District Department of Internal Affairs of Makhachkala, Saratova said. According to relatives, on Tuesday the court at a closed meeting arrested them for two months. However, a source in the law enforcement agencies of Dagestan claims that there was no arrest. "Together with the children, three women came from Syria. Two of them were detained and not arrested. They are made out with a confession to legalize their stay in the Russian Federation, since they were involved in some cases," the source said.

Abakarova and Kurbanova were wanted under part 2 of article 208 (participation in the illegal armed formation in the territory of a foreign state). Their mothers were told to the "Caucasian knot" that women were promised before returning that they would remove all the accusations from them. "We had agreements, there were guarantees of Ramzan Kadyrov," said Mother Kurbanova

According to Saratova, Abakarova has four children, the youngest baby breast. The baby Kurbanova is also on breastfeeding. The children were handed over to grandmothers, who are now forced to come to the IVS daily with a request to feed the children. “Why were such extreme measures needed regarding women who only escaped from hell? Many people risked their lives to pull them out. It was possible to put them under house arrest, let go on a recognizance not to leave, where they would go to,” said a member of the refinement of Chechnya.

Relatives of women turned to the Chechen authorities with a request to help their return to their homeland, since they were taken to Syria by deceiving husbands, supporters of the Islamists. "The special representative of the head of Chechnya in the countries of the Middle East and North Africa Ziyad Sabsabi found them with the assistance of the Russian military, risking their lives, took them out of the battles' zone and brought to their homeland," Saratova said.

On Saturday, 7 women and 14 children aged three to ten years old were brought from the Syrian Khmeimim to Grozny. These are residents of Chechnya, Dagestan and the Krasnoyarsk Territory. The representative of the Center for Combating Extremism of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Chechnya said that the Russians who returned from Syria will arrange a confession to avoid criminal liability. He emphasized that this procedure is legal, since "in article 208 there is a note that with a voluntary turnout to law enforcement agencies, this person is exempted from criminal liability."

Abakarova and Kurbanova, like all other returning, took place at the Grozny Airport of the Procedure of Check, Interrogation and Fit. After that, everyone was released. “We were sure that these women returned home, but after 2-3 hours, late at night, one of her mothers called me and said that her daughter was detained as soon as they arrived in Dagestan,” Saratova said, noting that “Chechen women calmly went home.”

Saratova asked to help Abakarov and Kurbanov to free the head of the HRC Mikhail Fedotov, to the children's Ombudsman Anna Kuznetsova, to the Commissioner for Human Rights in Russia Tatyana Moskalkova, at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The mothers of the detainees want to write to the head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov with a request to help. “I tried to explain to them that Kadyrov found women with children, brought and personally handed over to relatives, and then the solution to this problem is in the competence of the Dagestan authorities,” Saratova said.
