Activity as a journalist
Since 2001, Jewlojew has operated the Internet news site Ingushetiya.ru , which is known for its decidedly critical stance towards the leadership of the Russian republic of Ingushetia under President Murat Sjasikow and the Caucasus policy of the Moscow central government. The news published on the website often contradicted that of the state-controlled media. In the conflict with the political leadership of Ingushetia, attempts have been made several times to close the site. For example, in the summer of 2007, Yevloev was accused of deliberately inciting the Caucasian ethnic groups against one another. Proceedings were initiated, but terminated in spring 2008 on the instructions of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation . A second procedure was initiated in autumn 2007. This time, Yevloev was accused of having released suspects while serving in the judiciary through forged discharge documents. At the instigation of the Ingush Prosecutor's Office, a court order was finally obtained in 2008 banning Ingushetiya.ru from continuing its work on grounds of extremism . The decision was last upheld by a Moscow court on August 12, 2008. Due to increasing pressure from the state organs, the editor-in-chief of the website fled to France in early August , where she asked for political asylum . The content of Ingushetiya.ru is on a server in the USA to protect it from access by Russian state organs.
death
On August 31, 2008, Magomed Yevloev died as a result of being shot in the head while in police custody. While official agencies and state-loyal media spoke of a tragic accident - a shot broke off in a scuffle and Yevloev was immediately taken to hospital after his injury, other media and opposition groups report that Yevloev was seriously injured on the street shortly after his arrest found. Yevloev was arrested at the airport of the Ingushetian capital Magas after arriving with the Ingushetian President Murat Sjasikov . During the flight there should have been a violent argument between the two. A few weeks before his death, rumors were circulating that Yevloev felt threatened and wanted to ask an EU state for political asylum .
It was only in July 2008 that the human rights organization Human Rights Watch drew attention to the high number of kidnappings and cases of torture and political murder in Ingushetia.
Reactions to Yevloev's death
After the death of Yevloev, there was a mass demonstration in Ingushetia against the leadership of the republic. Oppositionists called on influential Ingush in Russia to go to their homeland immediately to initiate political changes. President Syasikov accused them of being responsible for numerous murders and kidnappings, as well as the murder of Yevloev. The demonstrators called for the resignation of Zyazikov and the return of his predecessor Ruslan Auschev to office. The Ingush authorities first sent negotiators to the demonstrators to persuade them to call off the event. The demonstrators refused, however, and prepared for a protest that lasted several days. On the morning of September 2, the Ingush government broke up the demonstration by force of arms. Numerous people are said to have been injured.
