[0]J.Tatar and a number of other readers alert us to the [1]shooting
death of an anti-government webmaster while in police custody in
Ingushetiya, a volatile province in southern Russia. Police took
Ingushetiya.ru owner Magomed Yevloyev off a plane that had just landed in
Ingushetiya. “Yevloyev… was a prominent opponent of the pro-Kremlin
president of Ingushetia, Murat Zyazikov [a close ally of Russian Prime
Minister Vladimir Putin]. Prosecutors have opened a preliminary
manslaughter investigation after Yevloyev was shot in a police car in
Narzan, the capital of volatile Ingushetia, a mostly Muslim region that
borders Chechnya, Russian media reported. A spokesman for the
prosecutor’s office, Vladimir Markin, said ‘an incident’ took place after
Yevloyev was taken into a police car ‘resulting in a shooting injury to
the head and he later died in hospital,’ Interfax reported.”
