A Muslim blogger detained for criticizing the "Russian Community" has not contacted his family
Mansur Gneev, a Muslim blogger from the Krasnodar Krai, remains unavailable for contact with his family after his arrest on September 23. He was reportedly beaten during a search, and suffered health problems in pretrial detention, possibly with an eye injury. Gneev's wife doubts the veracity of the report about his phone call to his family.
A criminal case has been opened against 23-year-old Gneev on charges of extremism for a YouTube video in which he criticized the nationalist organization "Russian Community." This organization, active since 2020 and intensified in 2024, is known for its anti-immigrant protests and possible ties to Russian security forces. Gneev leaves behind a wife and four-month-old child.
