"Legal Initiative" reports disappearance of Chechen woman

Her mother had turned to the prosecutor's office asking to investigate the disappearance of her daughter, but the office gave no reaction. Shortly before the disappearance, the daughter left her husband because of beatings.

Malika T., a resident of Grozny, disappeared back in October 2016, but this became known only today, when her mother has appealed to rights defenders.

Prior to her disappearance, the woman several times applied to the Grozny prosecutor's office stating that her husband was beating her up. According to her mother, after another beating in the fall of 2016, her daughter left her husband; however, after a while came back because of children.

In October 2016, Malika T. told her family on the phone that she was visited by her husband's, who was against her return to the family. After this call, Malika disappeared and stopped communicating. Her mother's appeals to the prosecutor's office with requests to investigate the disappearance remained unanswered, says the statement posted on the website of the organization "The Legal Initiative for Russia".
