Today marks 15 years since the murder of human rights activist Natalya Estemirova. The Memorial Human Rights Center will hold an evening in her memory.

Estemirova's relatives and colleagues will talk about their joint work, about Natalya's contribution to the protection of human rights, about the courage and concern with which the human rights activist helped people, and about what a wonderful person she was. Guests of the broadcast will be Natalya's daughter Lana Estemirova, Memorial members Oyub Titiev, Svetlana Gannushkina and Alexander Cherkasov, ex-head of Grozny Memorial Shakhman Akbulatov, human rights activists Sasha Kulaeva, Tanya Lokshina and Ekaterina Sokiryanskaya, journalists Elena Milashina and Zoya Svetova and others.

On July 15, 2009, Natalya Estemirova was kidnapped near her home in Grozny. Her body was found on the same day in Ingushetia, near the village of Gazi-Yurt. Natalia was shot in the chest and head. The customers and performers have not yet been found.

The sister of the murdered woman, Svetlana Estemirova, filed a complaint with the ECHR against Russia in 2011. At the end of August 2021, the European Court of Human Rights issued a verdict regarding the lack of a proper investigation.
