"I went to Nalchik on October, 17th, during the moment they were very roughly discussing information that many killed insurgents, actually, were simply casually lost people. So I was searching for proof of that. I communicated with relatives of the killed people. And all contacts near the mortuary, the Office of Public Prosecutor were fixed on video. And once I was stopped on the entrance to settlement Hasania: they decided to check up my notebooks, - tells "UR" Orhan Djemal. - Two operative employees – Zaur Krymukov and Beslan Chechenov - having looked through my notebook, run into hysterics: "So you have arrived here to collect all the dirt about our republic? What intelligence are you working for, beast? Who paid you for it?.. All right, now we’ll call witnesses and find in your backpack pomegranates... Not a sh... (“there is no reason”, ed.) to potter with witnesses. Call a car, we will bring him in a wood and finish him there..."
All this the journalist had already described in his article "Arrest is a painful thing".
Then Orhan Djemal was brought in "UAZ" and driven in the local Department on struggle against organized criminality. There the journalist had spent 17 hours, listening to shouts and blows reaching from other cabinets. However, Djemal was not forced to sign confessions in his complicity to the world terrorism. They thrashed him a little with boots, struck few times with a butt. Then people in the civilian clothes reminded him about "civil liability of journalist and soil his words fall down" will fall. And released him.
