Russian police kill website owner

[Aussie Rebel]

The owner of an independent website critical of authorities was shot and killed by police in a volatile province in southern Russia, his colleague said.

The killing of Ingushetiya.ru owner Magomed Yevloyev could incite tensions in the province of Ingushetia west of Chechnya, which has been the site of frequent attacks on police and other officials.

Police arrested Yevloyev, taking him off a plane that had just landed in Ingushetia province near Chechnya, said the site's deputy editor, Ruslan Khautiyev.

Police whisked Yevloyev away in a car and later dumped him on the road with a gunshot wound in the head, Khautiyev said. He said Yevloyev died in a hospital shortly afterward.

In Moscow, Investigative Committee spokesman Vladimir Markin said in a statement that Yevloyev was detained by police and died in an "incident" while being taken to police headquarters for an interrogation. Markin did not elaborate, saying a check to clarify the circumstances of Yevloyev's death had begun. The committee is under the Prosecutor-General's office.

Yevloyev has angered regional authorities with bold criticism of police treatment of civilians in the region. A court in June ordered him to shut his site on charges of spreading "extremist" statements, but it reappeared under a different name.

Khautiyev said Yevloyev arrived in Ingushetia from Moscow on the same plane with regional president Murat Zyazikov. Police blocked the jet on the runway after it landed in Ingushetia's provincial capital, Magas, entered the plane and took Yevloyev out.

Yevloyev's death is likely to further stir up passions in Ingushetia, which has been plagued by frequent raids and ambushes against federal forces and local authorities. Government critics attribute the attacks to anger fuelled by abductions, beatings, unlawful arrests and killings of suspects by government forces and local allied paramilitaries.

In June, Human Rights Watch accused Russian security forces of widespread human rights abuses in Ingushetia, saying it has documented dozens of summary and arbitrary detentions, acts of torture, enforced disappearances and extrajudicial executions. It said officials in Ingushetia persecuted peaceful Muslims and government critics, marginalised opposition groups and stifled independent media.

The New York-based rights group warned that the "dirty war" tactics against insurgents would likely further destabilise the situation in Ingushetia and beyond in the North Caucasus.

Many in Ingushetia are intensely unhappy with Zyazikov, a former KGB officer and a close ally of Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. An anti-government rally in Ingushetia in January drew hundreds of people who clashed with police.

Immediately after Yevloyev's detention, his website urged Ingushetia's residents to gather outside the headquarters of a leading opposition group.

Actually it is, because no one here knows. The death of Evloev is very disadvantageous to Russian government. I'd say it's even very dangerous. Thus I believe lots of high standing police bosses will get their asses fired.

All Russian media wrote about it. E.g.
http://lenta.ru/news/2008/08/31/evloev/
http://lenta.ru/news/2008/08/31/evloev1/
http://lenta.ru/news/2008/08/31/mvd/
http://news.mail.ru/incident/1983690
http://news.mail.ru/incident/1983673
etc.

Use Google translator to read.

So the question "WHY?" is very important.

Of course wrong. He's website was not critical to Russian police. Check it out by yourself: ingushetiya.ru - http://translate.google.com/translat...-8&sl=ru&tl=en

just because alleged police allegedly kill someone in Russia ... in a crayz, lawless region doesn't mean it has anything to do with government. police are as corrupt as anyone. moreso, the further away from Moscow or St Petersburg you get. massive networks of illegal business rely on those corrupt police. one person speaking out against "corruption" is just one person taking a stand against another.. its someone calling out a massive network of public and private people all getting rich with one guy trying to fuck it all up.

not only can you pay a cop(s) to arrest people or do almost anything you want relatively cheaply... there is often a huge problem with gangs posing as cops... happens all the time.

no matter what anyone wants to believe,... there is always more to the story. and the story is always darker and stranger than anyone ever imagined.

Not deal but make the problems. This murder will be a serious problem for Russian government and for Putin personally because he has supported Zyazikov in the past. It would be interesting to know what will happen next...

[just a punk]

BTW, there is not enough info in western media about this story which has started years ago. I'd suggest you to read some Russian newspapers since 2005. For example, the article posted by Aussie Rebel is an imperfect version of news from lenta.ru.

[DaddyHalbucks]

Scary shit, it makes the crooked cops over here look like choir boys.
