Court stops cases of all employees of Makhachkala shelter

The Leninsky District Court of Makhachkala has found no violations of the law in the actions of volunteers of the "Marem" project. The aim of the special operation of attacking the shelter was Khalimat Taramova, said Olga Gnezdilova, a lawyer of the "Legal Initiative"* project said.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on June 10, Dagestani law enforcers with their colleagues from Chechnya came to the Makhachkala shelter, an apartment for victims of domestic violence, and detained the "Marem" project staff and Khalimat Taramova, a daughter of Ramzan Kadyrov's close associate, who had fled from her relatives because of beatings. Law enforcers took Khalimat home to Chechnya.

The cases against all those detained in the Makhachkala shelter have been stopped "for the absence of an offense event," said Olga Gnezdilova, a lawyer for the "Legal Initiative"* project.

"Khalimat Taramova was handed over to her relatives in Chechnya; apparently, she was the target of the special operation conducted by Dagestani and Chechen policemen. The rest of the shelter residents were simply brutally isolated for 24 hours," Olga wrote in her Facebook page.

It is a pity for Khalimat, the user, Nikolai Mitrokhin, wrote in his comment. "Once again, it is obvious that Dagestan is not the place, where one can hide from Chechen law enforcers," he has stated.

*The organization is on the registry list of the Russia's Ministry of Justice (MoJ) of the non-commercial organizations (NCOs)-foreign agents.
