| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [KavkazUzel] A request has been sent to the Foreign Ministry to provide legal assistance to natives of Dagestan in Iraqi prisons, the republican ombudsman said after meeting with relatives of the convicts.
The meeting with the relatives of women in Iraqi prisons was reported by the Ombudsman for Human Rights in Dagestan, Jamal Aliyev, on May 4 on his Telegram channel. "Today I met with the parents and other relatives of 58 Dagestan women convicted and serving sentences in prisons in Iraq. Their relatives turned to me with questions about the review of sentences and the return of convicted Dagestan women home to further serve their sentences," he wrote. As a result of the meeting, the Ombudsman sent an appeal to the Consular Department of the Russian Foreign Ministry with a request to provide legal assistance to applicants in Iraq and help them find a lawyer, the publication says. Recall that in June 2021, the participants of the seminar in Moscow stated that, although the authorities recognize the need to return the wives and children of militants from Syria, including natives of the North Caucasus, the problems of their rehabilitation and social adaptation remain relevant. In 2021, Russian human rights activists released an analytical report on human rights problems and violations of humanitarian norms in the Middle East over the past 10 years of conflict. The "Caucasian Knot" published a note  about this report.
