Award-Winning Russian Journalist And Lawyer Badly Beaten In Chechnya

Journalist #Yelena #Milashina and lawyer #Aleksandr #Nemov have been moved to a hospital in Moscow, the #Novaya #Gazeta publication reported on Telegram on July 5. They sustained multiple injuries, the rights group reported.

"Milashina's fingers have been broken, and she is sometimes losing consciousness. She has bruises all over her body," the group said on social media. It added that Nemov had been stabbed in the leg.

"It was a classic kidnapping.... They pinned our driver down, threw him out of his car, got in, bent our heads down, tied my hands, knelt me down there, and put a gun to my head," Milashina told Mansur Soltayev, a Chechen human rights official, as she lay in a hospital in Grozny shortly after the attack.

Milashina and Nemov had traveled to Chechnya to attend the sentencing by a court of #Zarema #Musayeva, the jailed mother of three self-exiled outspoken Chechen opposition activists, Ibragim, Abubakar, and Baisangur #Yangulbayev, all of whom have fled the country citing harassment from Chechen authorities over their online criticism of Kremlin-backed Chechen head Ramzan #Kadyrov.

Ramsan #Kadyrov rühmt sich aktuell auf #Telegram damit, unbeliebter als #Lukaschenka, Kim Jong Un & #Assad zu sein. Wegen der vielen Sanktionen gegen ihn & sein Umfeld möchte er sich nun beim Guinessbuch der Rekorde bewerben & wünscht sich Hollywoodfilme über ihn. 🙄 /TN
