In Ingushetia, the head of the human rights organization "Mashr" was summoned for questioning in a criminal case

The head of the human rights organization Mashr, Magomed Mutsolgov, was visited at home by employees of the Investigative Committee with a summons for questioning as a witness in a criminal case. This was reported by MBKh Media, citing Mutsolgov himself.

The activist was not at home. According to him, his relatives did not take the summons. It is unknown what criminal case is being discussed. Mutsolgov says that law enforcement officers began to come to him after the protests. "Everyone wanted to see me as part of an administrative case, but now we are talking about a criminal one," the human rights activist said.

• In September 2018, the authorities of Ingushetia and Chechnya signed an agreement to change the border between the republics, after which protests began in Ingushetia. In March, after an agreed rally, clashes occurred between security forces and protesters.
• The Investigative Committee has opened a criminal case on calls for mass riots (Part 3 of Article 212 of the Criminal Code) and the use of violence against law enforcement officers that is dangerous to life and health (Part 2 of Article 318 of the Criminal Code). Already 26 people have become defendants in it.
• The Mashr organization provides free assistance to relatives of abducted people and monitors human rights violations in the republic. In 2015, the organization was added to the list of foreign agents.
• In April, Magomed Mutsolgov’s home and the Mashr office were searched.
