In Saint Petersburg, activists posted leaflets dedicated to the search for Seda Suleimanova, who was kidnapped and taken to Chechnya.

The “Caucasian Knot” has reported that on October 19, activist Elena Tardasova-Yun held a picket in Novosibirsk demanding an investigation into the disappearance of Seda Suleimanova.

In Saint Petersburg, leaflets of the “Where is Seda?” campaign appeared on the Akhmat Kadyrov Bridge, the “RusNews” Telegram channel reported.

Let us remind you that in August 2023, Seda Suleimanova was detained in Saint Petersburg and taken to Chechnya. After that, no messages were received from her. Seda’s friends and human rights defenders fear that she fell victim to the so-called “honour killing.”

On April 26, in Chechnya, an investigator questioned Elena Patyaeva, who held pickets in Saint Petersburg in February and March demanding to clarify the Seda Suleimanova’s fate. In June, Elena Patyaeva claimed that three months after the criminal case was instituted, investigators had not come to any conclusions and that the investigation was being sabotaged.
