Funds have been raised for five months of support for Zarema Musaeva in detention.

More than 250 thousand rubles have been raised for the deliveries to Zarema Musaeva, convicted for attacking a law enforcement officer. This will allow for the delivery of medicines, food, and hygiene products to her for five months.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", on May 12, human rights activists announced a fundraising campaign for the political prisoner Zarema Musaeva, who needs medicines and special diabetic food. The fundraising goal is 300 thousand rubles, which will be enough for six months of support. By June 28, 212 thousand rubles had been raised.

In two months, funds have been raised for five months of deliveries to Zarema Musaeva.

As of 15:42 Moscow time, 250,635 rubles have been raised for the deliveries to Zarema Musaeva, according to data posted on the "Zaodno" platform.

A total of 83.55% of the required amount has been raised, calculated "Caucasian Knot".

The fundraising through the "Zaodno" platform is conducted by the Team Against Torture*.

As previously indicated by human rights activists, 500 rubles from each delivery goes to the purchase of bottled water and juices, 1000 rubles for fresh vegetables, fruits, dried fruits, sugar substitutes, and sweets for diabetics. 2000 rubles are allocated for hygiene products, household chemicals, including sterilization products after insulin injections that Zarema administers daily. Another 3000 rubles are for the purchase of milk, meat, and fish.

"A full menu is critically important given Zarema's diagnosis - it requires a strict diet, non-compliance with which can lead to a deterioration in quality of life: increased fatigue, blurred vision, damage to blood vessels and the nervous system," emphasized the human rights activists.

In March 2025, human rights activists raised the same amount for a year's supply of medicines, rehabilitation materials, and consumables needed by Musaeva. Two-thirds of the required amount were raised in two weeks. "Thank you for your support, you are saving me," Zarema Musaeva wrote after receiving the medicines.

Recall that on June 17, Aliya Yangulbaeva published an open letter on social media Instagram** addressed to Aishat Kadyrova, the eldest daughter of the head of Chechnya. In her appeal, Yangulbaeva asked Kadyrova to assist in the release of her mother, Zarema Musaeva. There has been no response to this appeal from Aishat Kadyrova or Ramzan Kadyrov. Analysts interviewed by "Caucasian Knot" doubted that Aishat Kadyrova could influence her father Ramzan Kadyrov's position regarding the release of Yangulbaeva's mother - Zarema Musaeva.

In early April, human rights activists sent a complaint about Chechen political prisoner Zarema Musaeva to the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention. In it, the woman indicated that she is being punished for the actions of her sons, who criticize the leadership of Chechnya, and that the court hearings in her case are being conducted with violations.

Zarema Musaeva is the wife of former federal judge Said Yangulbaev. Chechen law enforcement officers took her away on January 20, 2022, from an apartment in Nizhny Novgorod. After that, Ramzan Kadyrov accused the Yangulbaev family of organizing a terrorist network and stated that they would have a place "in prison or underground." In July 2023, Musaeva was convicted in a criminal case of fraud and "using violence against a police officer." The Akhmat district court sentenced her to five and a half years in a colony, later, in September 2023, the Supreme Court of Chechnya reduced the sentence to five years in a settlement colony. In March 2024, the Cassation Court in Pyatigorsk reduced Zarema Musaeva's sentence by three months to four years and nine months, satisfying the prosecutor's request.
