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.
At least seven compositions by the Chechen bard Timur Mutsuraev are included in the list of materials for the dissemination of which the courts most often imposed administrative fines. According to the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation, they are recognized as "extremist materials." Among these songs are “Jerusalem”, “They are gone”, “Tawheed”, “Strike of the blade”, “Chechnya on fire”, “Shahid”, “12 thousand Mujahideen”. The courts imposed punishment for publishing their records on the Internet at least 160 times.
Timur Mutsuraev has become popular since the first Russian-Chechen war. Initially, he performed songs in Russian about the war, brotherhood, duty and fallen comrades. Later, texts of a religious nature with calls for jihad were added to the theme. The list of "extremist" songs includes about 30 songs out of more than 100 in the musician's repertoire.
