On October 30, the Supreme Court of Ingushetia ruled illegal the search in the house of Ruslan Mutsolgov, leader of the youth wing and regional branch of the Yabloko party, reports . Kavkazsky Uzel
The search took place on October 2, the day after protesters against the redistribution of the Chechen-Ingush border held motor rallies and then blocked the federal highway near Magas for three hours.
The law enforcers who carried out the search said that investigations in Mutsolgov's apartment were being carried out as part of a criminal case against Ingush human rights activist Ibragim Lyanov, who lives in Brussels. As a result, the activist's mobile phone and laptop were confiscated.
At the meeting, the Supreme Court overturned the decision of the Magassky District Court, which on October 4 recognized the search at Mutsolgov's as legal.
“We have not yet received the resolution itself, because only the introductory part of the definition was announced. In a few days we should receive the decision of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Ingushetia in its final form and we will wait for the return of the case to the district court and the appointment of a court session. If the court of first instance decides on the illegality of the search, any evidence (obtained during the search) will be null and void,” the Caucasian Knot reports a comment by lawyer Magomed Gagiev.
On October 2, searches also took place in the homes of local activists Bagaudin Khautivev and Khasan Katsiev.
