According to local sources, between September 20-24, five residents of various areas in Chechnya were taken hostage by the gang members of the occupying Russia and its local puppet, Kadyrov.

On September 20, a 44 year old local man was abducted at a check point in the Achkoi-Martan city of Chechnya during a joint activity by Kadyrovites and Russian forces. The occupying sources claimed that since August of 2010, their hostage has been providing food and various equipment to Chechen mujahedeen groups who operate in the Achkoi-Martan area.

On September 24, a resident of the Staropromyslovsky district of the capital Grozny, who is 26 years old, was abducted by mobsters from the puppet regime in Chechnya. His relatives said that the young man was forced to confess to a fabricated accusation that he had close ties to Chechen mujahedeen groups since last summer.

On the same day, Russian occupying forces and their local collaborators organized a special operation, in which a 23 year old resident of Gekhi village in Urus-Martan district of Chechnya was taken hostage in a wooded area of his village. The occupant sources claimed that the young man was in the forest to give food to the Chechen mujahedeen; however, his relatives said that the young man was in the forest for cut firewood.

On the same date, in the evening, Kadyrovites claimed that they had detained two injured Chechen mujahedeen in the Staropromyslovsky district of Grozny. According to unnamed eyewitness, both of the young men spoke with Kadyrovites and were shot, then hospitalized.

The fate of each hostage is unknown.
