Ingushetia resident recognized as victim of political repression almost 70 years later
The Magas District Court of Ingushetia has recognized the rehabilitation of a resident of the region, Asmi Izmailova, as a victim of the 1944 deportation as legal. Previously, the Ministry of Internal Affairs refused to recognize her as a victim of political repression, since she was born after the formal lifting of restrictions on special settlers.
 
Asmi Izmailova's parents were deported to Kazakhstan in 1944. She was born after the Supreme Soviet of the USSR issued a decree in the summer of 1956 lifting restrictions on the special settlement of Chechens, Ingush, and Karachays. However, the family could not return to their homeland. The deported peoples received this opportunity only after the restoration of the Chechen-Ingush ASSR in 1957. In fact, as stated in the court's decision, at the time of the plaintiff's birth, administrative supervision of her parents had not been lifted.
 
On February 23, mourning rallies dedicated to the memory of the victims of the 1944 deportation will be held in Ingushetia at the Memorial of Memory and Glory in Nazran. Thousands of people, including the republic's leadership, will take part in the events.
