Chechen activist recognized as a “foreign agent”

The day before, the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation published another list of “foreign agents”. It included a native of Chechnya, director of the human rights organization Human Rights Center Ichkeria Aslan Artsuev.

According to the Ministry of Justice, Artsuev made calls to violate the territorial integrity of Russia, disseminated false information and discredited the Russian authorities and the army.

At the end of 2021, Aslan Artsuev reported the detention of his brothers and uncle in Chechnya. According to the oppositionist, the actions of the security forces are revenge for criticism of Vladimir Putin and Ramzan Kadyrov.
