Documented circumstances

Memorial’s Appendix 3 records that Abdul-Azim Uruzov was shot in his courtyard while trying to prevent troops from destroying a vehicle. The record cites information from his wife, daughters and a niece, as well as local documentary lists.

What the evidence does not establish

This is the independent investigation’s account of a reported deliberate shooting, not an individual conviction of the person who fired.

This is a source-based memorial record, not a judicial verdict. References to Russian military involvement summarise Memorial’s documented witness evidence. The transliteration is editorial and all explicit uncertainties are retained.
