In the Stavropol Territory, a human rights activist was searched. She asked to check the FSB special operation

In the city of Nevinnomyssk, Stavropol Territory, on December 6, the house of a civil activist defending Muslims, Darya Atdayeva, was searched, the Memorial Human Rights Center reported in its mailing list.

Police said the search was conducted to look for weapons and information about "covering up acts of terrorism." Atdaeva's computer, notebook, phone and her mother's phone were confiscated. The activist says that the apartment lease agreement has disappeared, although its seizure has not been recorded.

Employees of the Center "E" and the police, according to human rights activists, did not allow the woman to contact her lawyers, they said that her "constitutional rights are limited."

In November, Atdayeva was visited by employees of the Center “E” and interrogated her about her sources of income and contacts with non-governmental organizations, studied her passport and demanded explanations about trips to human rights events in Europe.

Memorial links the actions of Center E with Atdaeva's statement about the need to investigate the special operation in Nevinnomyssk in May 2018. Then the FSB officers killed two people, calling them the leaders of a religious extremist cell who were planning a terrorist attack. As they write in the mailing list of the HRC, relatives and friends of the victims do not agree with the official version of the special services.

• Daria Atdayeva has been persecuted for religious reasons since 2011 - while studying at the institute, the woman converted to Islam, but dropped out of school due to pressure due to her faith. A woman advises Muslims who have suffered from illegal actions of special services. Atdayeva's husband was sentenced to 15 years in a penal colony in Turkmenistan under an extremist article for refusing to work with the special services.
