Head of the “Team Against Torture”: “The investigation into the case of the attack on a journalist and a lawyer must be transferred from Chechnya to another region”
Journalist Yelena Milashina and lawyer Alexander Nemov, victims of the attack in Chechnya, believe that an effective investigation is possible only if the case is transferred from this republic to another region. This was announced by the head of the "Team Against Torture" Sergei Babinets. “Our entire practice of work in the republic shows that the guilty person will not be found and will not suffer any punishment. Elena and Alexander were not interviewed, medical certificates are available only from the Grozny medical facility, where they received medical care, but no examinations were carried out,” said Babinets.
Recall that the Investigative Committee opened a criminal case under two articles: on the intentional infliction of minor bodily harm (Article 115 of the Criminal Code) and moderate bodily harm (Article 112 of the Criminal Code). The case is being handled by the Department of the Investigative Committee for Chechnya. No one was detained, there are no suspects, no interviews of witnesses and victims, and no video cameras were confiscated.
