In Grozny, the Prosecutor's Office (PO) has found no violations in the actions of the law enforcers who had forcibly taken Zarema Musaeva from her home in Nizhny Novgorod, the "Committee against Torture" (CaT)* has informed.

The “Rosfinmonitoring” (Russian Federal Service for Financial Monitoring) has included Ibragim Yangulbaev in the register of extremists and terrorists. Ibragim Yangulbaev himself associated the above with his criticism of the Chechen authorities.

A complaint has been filed with the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) concerning the case of Zarema Musaeva, indicating violations of at least six articles of the European Convention for the Protection of Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR), including the threat to life and the prohibition of torture.

Despite deterioration of her health state, Zarema Musaeva refused to be transferred to a hospital for fear of contracting the coronavirus, her advocate said. According to the defender, Zarema Musaeva is being kept in a separate cell of the Grozny SIZO (pre-trial prison) under the supervision of doctors.

Every two weeks, Russian authorities must send a report on the health condition of Zarema Musaeva to the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), the Court has decided.

Adam Delimkhanov, an advisor to the head of Chechnya, and Mansur Soltaev, the Chechen Ombudsperson, have criticized Alexander Zakuskin, a Moscow deputy, for the latter's conflict with an elderly Chechen woman; however, they had reacted completely differently to the kidnapping of Zarema Musaeva by Chechen law enforcers, Instagram users and readers of the "Caucasian Knot" have pointed out.

The Supreme Court (SC) of Chechnya has ignored the words of Zarema Musaeva, who asked to place her under house arrest due to her poor health. The arrest of Musaeva, who suffers from severe diabetes, is against Russian law, her son Abubakar Yangulbaev has stated.

Advocates requested the court to transfer Zarema Musaeva to house arrest due to her state of health, but the court dismissed the request, although an ambulance was called again at night, advocate Arkady Shindyapin said. Abubakar Yangulbaev, a son of Zarema Musaeva, notes that the court is under pressure.

According to Ibragim Yangulbaev, his father and mother, as well as other relatives, are not involved in the 1Adat Movement” and are not its leaders. He pointed to contradictions in the Chechen authorities’ accusations against members of the Yangulbaev family.

The Supreme Court (SC) of Chechnya has considered the complaint lodged by the defence against the arrest of Zarema Musaeva and refused to satisfy it, one of the advocates has informed.

In Nizhny Novgorod, investigators forwarded to the Prosecutor’s Office of Chechnya a complaint about the kidnapping of Zarema Musaeva, so as not to take on the clarification of the involvement of Chechen law enforcers in the kidnapping, lawyer Nadezhda Yermolaeva suggests.

During a court session in Grozny, Zarema Musaeva felt bad; and the ruling to arrest her was made when she was unconscious.

Members of the team of the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, are no longer going to comment on the situation with his critics to journalists, and will not react to the statements made by opponents of regional authorities, Akhmed Dudaev, the Minister of Information of Chechnya, has stated.

Abubakar Yangulbaev, a former lawyer of the "Committee against Torture" (CaT)*, said that he left Georgia for Europe because of security threats.
