Line 81: On December 19, 2007, police blocked Gimry after the assassination of Deputy Gazimagomed Magomedov a few days before, and detained several local men accusing them of being supporters of [[Salafist]] rebels with links to [[Chechnya]]. Gimry was blockaded for several days and local residents claim that Russian soldiers have stolen from them and terrorized them during house-to-house searches. Gimry is one of the spiritual homes of Islam in the Eastern [[Caucasus]]. In 2014 Russian soldiers again besieged Gimry, while trying to capture Gimry native [[Magomed Suleymanov]], who had been proclaimed emir of the Caucasus Emirate. Despite Suleymanov escaping, Gimry (as of mid-2015) remains blocked by Russian troops to all except its residents.<ref>{{cite news\|title=Russia and Islamic State: Caucasian jihad\|url=http://www.economist.com/news/europe/21656731-islamic-state-recruiting-volunteers-caucasus-russia-may-be-letting-them-go-caucasian\|accessdate=5 July 2015\|work=[[The Economist]]\|date=4 July 2015}}</ref>.
