About one hundred residents of Dagestan\'s Khasavyurt district blocked the federal highway Kavkaz several kilometers south of Khasavyurt on Thursday to protest a series of abductions that have been committed in the district in the past several months. Residents of the communities of Endirei, Novosositli, Aksai, and Khamavyurt blocked the same road last week. They protested against kidnappings of their relatives by unidentified people wearing camouflage uniforms without insignia. The protesters claimed that a total of 8 young men had been kidnapped.
