The medical commission found Zarema Musaeva quite healthy to be kept in a colony

Team Against Torture lawyer Alexander Savin received the conclusion of a medical commission regarding the health of Zarema Musaeva. In the protocol, her diagnosis was changed - instead of type 2 diabetes with multiple complications diagnosed last year, diabetes without complications was indicated. It is not included in the list of diseases that allow convicts to be released for health reasons.

The lawyer also said that on April 11, Musaeva was called to the colony for an ambulance due to severe pain in her leg. Zarema spoke about them back in March, however, according to her, no examinations were carried out in this regard. Previously, a woman held in a Chechen penal colony was diagnosed with cataracts.

In early March, the Pyatigorsk Court of Cassation reduced the prison term of Zarema Musaeva from 5 to 4 years and 9 months.

Last year in Grozny, Musayeva was convicted on charges of using violence against a government official. Let us remind you that on January 20, 2022, police officers from Chechnya came to Nizhny Novgorod and took Musaeva away. After being taken to Grozny, the woman was accused of using force against a police officer. According to investigators, she scratched his face.

Zarema Musayeva is the mother of Chechen activists Abubakar, Ibragim and Baysangur Yangulbaev. Human rights activists believe that she was kidnapped as a hostage and convicted of her sons’ opposition activities.
