It is necessary to completely change the CCE staff, said Akhmed Bashir Aushev, one of the former leaders of the movement, whose son suffered from the actions of Ingush power agents. Any disclosure of information about the torture of residents of the republic and cruel treatment of them by law enforcers always ended in summon to the CCE, said Magomed Mutsolgov, a rights defender.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on December 7, it became known about detention of Timur Khamkhoev, the head of the CCE of the Russia's MIA for Ingushetia. According to law enforcement sources, his detention has to do with the death of the detainee Magomed Daliev. Users of social networks demand to check Khamkhoev for involvement in torture.
