In Dagestan, Umaraskhab Alibekov, a father of many children, was found guilty of failing to report a planned terrorist attack that killed 22 people. The charge is based on the fact that he knew about the planned attacks on Makhachkala and Derbent but failed to notify authorities.
Shalin City Court of Chechnya extended Zarema Musaeva's arrest until August 26. The "Team Against Torture" reminded that the woman has diabetes and other serious diseases.
Lawyer Oleksandr Savyn asked to change the restraining order. He reminded that Musaeva's condition worsens in the pre-trial detention center. Nevertheless, the court refused him.
According to the investigation, the seriously ill woman allegedly attacked the escort accompanying her to the hospital, scratched his neck and tore off his shoulder strap. Musaeva rejects the accusations against him. Earlier in court, she quoted the words of the allegedly injured Bekbulatov: "Your children write everything, including about me. I will say that you attacked me." The surgeon questioned in court said that the victim had a small scratch on his neck and he did not provide him with any medical assistance.
Zarema Musaeva is the wife of former federal judge Sayda Yangulbayev and the mother of Chechen activists Abubakar, Ibrahim and Baisangur Yangulbayev. In early March 2024, the Pyatigorsk Court of Cassation reduced her sentence on the previous charge, reducing the term of imprisonment from 5 years to 4 years and 9 months. In July 2023, a court in Grozny found the woman guilty of violence against a police officer and fraud and sentenced her to five years in prison. The investigation believes that she scratched the face of a police officer from Chechnya during her delivery from Nizhny Novgorod to Grozny. Human rights activists claim that the woman was kidnapped as a hostage and convicted for her sons' opposition activities.
