Website "Caucasian Knot" who reported this reminds Mankiev's abduction in Alexandria in mid-November was reported by his brother Musa. And so far there is no information on whereabouts of the missing Ingush. His wife claims that prior to December 3rd Mankiev was in Alexandria and "perhaps is still there".
Her appeal to Mikhail Saakashvili the woman explains by "centuries-old sympathies between Ingush and Georgian peoples." She wrote: "Everybody knows your high authority in the world, when you have proved that Georgia does stick up for its citizens. My address is a step of despair, I do not expect protection and justice from anywhere, I have no one to write to ".
Mankieva says that she and her husband had been living in Egypt for 4 years. Her husband was a student - he intended to continue his studies in local universities, but could not because of problems with the passport. As the letter says, "For over a year he could not get Russian passport as at the consulate this issue was delayed, referring that supposedly Moscow had not yet replied to their request", and "numerous appeals to the embassy are fruitless".
"Neither the president of Ingushetia nor Russian authorities are interested in helping our family in this situation", - wrote Mankieva. She reports that she received an official response from the Foreign Ministry, according to which Ibrahim Mankiev "was detained on the orders of security services of North Ossetia-Alania" for a case that was instituted in 2007 - when the Mankievs already lived in Egypt. "The accusations are groundless, - wrote a woman - we consider the main reason for his arrest to be the fact that for some time he served as imam in a mosque in North Ossetia-Alania."
