A Baku appellate court, considering a motion to overturn the arrest of opposition journalist Afgan Sadigov, rejected the defense's request and remanded him in custody. This was reported by his wife, Sevinj Sadigova.

Human rights activists are making efforts to determine the whereabouts of Khava and Movsar Movlaev, Movlaev's parents, who were forcibly removed to an unknown location in Chechnya. Their fate remains uncertain.

Aliya Yangulbaeva, the daughter of Chechen political prisoner Zarema Musayeva and former federal judge Saidi Yangulbaev, published an open letter to Aishat Kadyrova, the eldest daughter of the head of Chechnya, on her Instagram account, asking for assistance in securing her mother's release.

A staff member at a pretrial detention facility in Almaty, Kazakhstan, regularly subjects Chechen native Mansur Movlaev to verbal humiliation, threats, and psychological pressure, including on the basis of his ethnicity. He reported this in a letter to his lawyers while awaiting a decision on his extradition case to Russian authorities.

A court in Simferopol extended the pretrial detention of mother-of-five Esma Nimetulayeva, 21-year-old businesswoman Fevziye Osmanova, 20-year-old student Elviza Aliyeva, and 19-year-old student Nasiba Saidova until September 14. They are accused of involvement with the Islamic party Hizb ut-Tahrir, which is designated a terrorist organization in Russia.

Moscow mathematician Mikhail Verbitsky, detained in the Armenian capital on the night of June 13, has been released from custody. Local media reported this, citing his lawyer, Vache Simonyan.

A group of activists held a protest in Vienna outside the Kazakh embassy in support of Chechen refugee Mansur Movlaev. They urged Kazakh authorities not to extradite the young man to Russia.

A decision on whether to extradite mathematician and blogger Mikhail Verbitsky, detained in Yerevan, to Russian authorities will be made soon. He is expected to be released soon, according to Artur Sakunts, head of the Yerevan-based human rights organization Helsinki Citizens' Assembly - Vanadzor.
