Reporters Without Borders (RSF) has released a report covering the period from December 2024 to December 2025, providing data on the state of press freedom worldwide. Currently, 503 journalists are held in prison worldwide.
The Investigative Committee of the Investigative Committee for Chechnya opened a criminal case under the article on participation in an extremist organization against Baysangur Yangulbaev. This was reported by the telegram channel 1ADAT, which was recognized as "extremist" by the authorities of Chechnya.
It should be reminded that earlier the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation put Baysangur Yangulbaev on the federal wanted list. He lives abroad and is the son of Saidi Yangulbaev, a former judge of the Supreme Court of Chechnya, and the brother of Abubakar and Ibragim Yangulbaev, lawyers opposed to the Chechen authorities.
The Yangulbaev family was forced to leave the Russian Federation because of their persecution. However, in January 2022, Baysangur’s mother, Zarema Musaeva, was forcibly taken from her home in Nizhny Novgorod to Grozny. Since then, she has been in jail on charges of assaulting a police officer. Examination of the arguments of the investigation refutes.
