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. Gimry remained blocked by Russian troops to all except its residents for a while.<ref>{{cite news|title=Russia and Islamic State: Caucasian jihad|url=
