Ali Sugaipov

Memorial case SAM-1995-V071 · Samashki, Chechnya · April 1995

Original Cyrillic name: Сугаипов Али Аббасович (Хархароев) · Born: 1941 · Recorded death: 7 April 1995 · Place: Vygonnaya Street, Samashki · Memorial Appendix 3 no.: 71

Documented circumstances

Memorial recorded Ali Sugaipov’s death in his own courtyard. On the morning of 8 April, burned bodies were found there, including those of Emin Nadyrov, Akhmed Kharkharoev and Khamzat Kharkharoev. The appendix records Sugaipov’s alternative family name and uses testimony from his wife and other villagers.

What the evidence does not establish

The documented burning of the bodies must not be taken as proof that every one of these people was burned alive. The report does not establish a precise mechanism of death for each person.

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.
