Ingush human rights activist detained (video)
An Ingush human rights activist has been snatched by a group of masked men after attending a banned opposition rally in the largest city Nazran.
Magomed Khazbiev's sister videotaped the move Wednesday, when more than a dozen armed men, wearing camoflauge and black masks, grabbed the activist and his two brothers. She gives a teary running commentary of events happening just outside the family's window and links the abduction to Khazbiev's human rights activism.
