The authorities of Chechnya have made kidnappings of the relatives of their opponents a constant practice, but the abduction of Zarema Yangulbaeva is something special, since she is the wife of a retired judge.

Analysts reproach Chechen law enforcers for violating Russian MIA's subordination
Most likely, law enforcers from Nizhny Novgorod had known about the pre-planned abduction of Zarema Yangulbaeva by Chechen policemen, but they didn't dare to oppose them, since law enforcers in Chechnya, while bypassing Russian laws, obey directly the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, and not the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA), the human rights defenders interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot" have noted.
