An international conference entitled "The Circassian Genocide in the Context of History and Contemporary Politics" was held in the Seimas of Lithuania, organized by the United Circassian Council.
The Soviet District Court of Makhachkala refused to satisfy the claim of journalist Idris Yusupov against the Ministry of Internal Affairs for illegal detention during a mass protest against military mobilization on September 26, 2022. This was reported by the Center for the Protection of Human Rights "Memorial".
Yusupov was illegally held at the police station for 18 hours, without food or drink, with numerous human rights violations. At the same time, the representative of the defendant claimed that Yusupov was not detained, was not taken to the police department and was not kept there - he allegedly came and sat there voluntarily for 18 hours.
Idris Yusupov asked that the actions of the Interior Ministry employees be recognized as illegal and unjustified. As a result, the judge dismissed the administrative claim.
