Young man returns from Norway and is abducted in Chechnya

Local sources have reported that a young male Chechen, who returned from Norway to retrieve personal legal documents, was abducted in the Russian-occupied Caucasus Emirate.

According to an eyewitness who would like to remain anonymous, his friend Khuseyn Ilyasov arrived in Jokhar n a public bus via Moscow on January 14. They went together to the pro-Russian regime's central registry office to retrieve documents on his birth and residence in Chechnya. He was asked to return the following day. So, Khuseyn went to the Achkhoi-Martan district to spend the night at his friend's place. On January 15, the two young men had to go once again to the central registry office in Jokhar.

At 9.00am, they were waiting at the bus stop on the road leading to Jokhar but when the eyewitness realized that his cigarettes were finished, he crossed the street to buy more. When he left the shop, he saw that some unknown men in black clothes put Khuseyn into a black "Lada-Priora" car without plates and drove away to an unknown destination. There was also a middle aged woman at the bus stop and when the eyewitness returned to the bus stop, she apologized for not being able to stop them.
