Zarema Musaeva complained about an unfounded reprimand that could interfere with parole

In the colony-settlement of the city of Argun, Zarema Musayeva was reprimanded for forgetting her badge. This could negatively affect the decision on her parole, Team Against Torture said.

According to Musayeva, at the end of December she had a conflict with another prisoner in the dining room. Possibly provoked. The woman was very upset and in a hurry forgot her sleeveless vest with her badge in the dining room. This became known to the leadership of the colony, and Zarema was summoned to a commission, where she was reprimanded for violating order.

As lawyer Alexander Savin notes, any penalty may become a reason for another denial of parole.

“Musaeva has already been denied parole once, although at that time my client did not have any penalties. Musaeva agrees that she was not wearing a sleeveless shirt, but completely disagrees with the penalty imposed. I sent a request to the colony management to find out the details and reasons for the penalty,” Savin said.

Zarema Musaeva is the wife of former federal judge Saidi Yangulbaev and the mother of Chechen activists Ibragim, Baysangur and Abubakar Yangulbaev. In July 2023, a court in Grozny found the woman guilty of using violence against a police officer and fraud and sentenced her to five years in prison. According to investigators, she scratched the face of a police officer from Chechnya during her transfer from Nizhny Novgorod to Grozny. In addition, she was accused of aiding a certain Madina Azimova, who fraudulently issued consumer loans to insolvent borrowers.

According to lawyers, given her state of health, Musaeva cannot serve her sentence. She suffers from type 2 diabetes and has had persistent nosebleeds and arm pain. Human rights activists believe that the woman was kidnapped as a hostage and her sons were convicted of opposition activities.
