In Ingushetia, the court extended the arrest of a participant in protests against border redistribution until December 11

The court extended the arrest of Zarifa Sautieva, a participant in protests against changing the border between Ingushetia and Chechnya, until December 11. She is accused of organizing the use of violence against government officials (part 3 of article 33, part 2 of article 318 of the Criminal Code). This is reported by MBH Media with reference to the lawyer Bilan Tsuro.

According to investigators, during the rally Sautiyeva called on the protesters to illegal actions. Earlier, the activist’s defense insisted on attaching a video recording to the case file, from which it follows that Sautiyeva, on the contrary, asked the protesters “not to throw chairs” at the security forces.

• On July 15, the Nalchik City Court sent Sautiyeva under arrest to a pre-trial detention center. A few days later, she was charged with complicity in violence against law enforcement officers.
• The Ingush branch of Yabloko, the Support of Ingushetia movement and the Patriotic Union of Women of Ingushetia believe that the persecution of Sautiyeva is connected with her civic position. In April, she was fined for participating in the protests in Ingushetia on March 27, and before that, they tried to dismiss her from the post of deputy director for research at the Memorial Complex for the Victims of Repressions.
• On March 26, in Magas, local residents held a concerted rally against the redistribution of borders with Chechnya, its participants demanded the resignation of the head of the republic, Yunus-Bek Yevkurov.

On the morning of March 27, the security forces began to disperse the protesters, clashes broke out . The protesters left the square after the authorities promised to agree on a new action in five days. After that, local residents gathered at the entrance to Nazran, blocking the federal highway "Caucasus".
