Ingushetia.org

Ingushetia.org (Ингушетия.org; formerly ingushetiya.ru) is a non-government Ingush news agency and web site and was owned by Magomed Yevloyev. Its server is located in the United States. The site was launched on August 8, 2001 by owner and chief editor Magomed Yevloev. The site often contained materials that the government of Ingushetia did not officially agree with. In 2007 Yevloev stopped editing the website and announced, that he would be no longer involved with the editorial policy. He worked in its own lawyers’ practice in Moscow but remained the website’s owner. The website has been accused of "inciting inter-ethnic hatred" by the public prosecutor of North Ossetia and came under numerous hacker attacks in 2007. The portal also organized the I have not voted! action in Ingushetia after the 2007 Russian legislative elections, gathering more than 57,000 signatures of people who had not voted. The aim of the action was to demonstrate that the official results of the regional voting (98% turnout and 99% support of United Russia) were false. According to Ingushetia.ru, and as reported in Chechnya Weekly, access to the portal by people within Ingushetia was blocked by Ingush authorities in November 2007.
