Memorial: On the killing of Magomed Yevloev

Russia’s Human Rights Centre “Memorial” considers the killing of Magomed Yevloev, the owner of the opposition website Ingushetia.ru (http://ingushetiya.ru/ ) to be the latest act of State terror and a demonstrative and cynical crime.

One has the impression that after a “small victorious war” the authorities have rejected any mere semblance of lawfulness in their actions with regard to those whom they regard as their adversary.

We demand a swift and effective investigation into this crime and that those who both ordered it and carried it out are brought to justice.
