Resident of Chechnya declared killed for the second time

Kazbek Baidulaev, a native of the Chechen village of Yandi, whose murder in a counterterrorist operation (CTO), conducted in the Achkhoi-Martan District, was announced by Ramzan Kadyrov, was earlier named among those killed on October 11. According to law enforcers, the man perished in a shootout in the Sernovodsk District.

On Tuesday (December 15), law enforcers conducted a CTO in the Achkhoi-Martan District of Chechnya. Ramzan Kadyrov announced that an alleged militant, Kazbek Baidulaev, was killed there.

According to law enforcers, since 2016, the 32-year-old Kazbek Baidulaev took part in battles in Syria, and returned to Russia in 2020. In 2008, he and his brother Anzor were sentenced to six months in prison for participation in an illegal armed formation (IAF). Their relatives then asserted that Kazbek and Anzor had been tortured and forced to sign confessions. In 2009, Kazbek's relatives reported that armed men took him away from his house. A few days later, Baidulaev was found at a police station in Grozny. He told his mother that law enforcers had forced him to self-incriminate.

Prior to joining the armed underground, Baidulaev was kidnapped and tortured. His relatives' houses were burned down after the militants' attack on Grozny, although there was no information about the Baidulaevs' participation in that attack, the Human Rights Centre (HRC) "Memorial" has pointed out.

The "Caucasian Knot" has also reported that law enforcers had twice announced that Rustam Borchashvili, a native of the Ingush village of Nesterovka, was killed during a CTO. It was reported that he was identified in one of the two casualties during the CTO conducted in the Sunzha District of Ingushetia, near the border with Chechnya, in February 2013. However, then his name reappeared among those killed during the shootout in the Sernovodsk District of Chechnya on October 11.
