Amnesty International is extremely concerned for the safety of former Guantánamo prisoners Airat Vakhitov and Rustam Akhmiarov, who are believed to have "disappeared" on 27 August in the capital Moscow. It is not known where they are being held and there are fears that they may be at risk of torture or ill-treatment.
