Zarema Musayeva accused of "disorganization of the colony's activities"
A second criminal case has been opened against Zarema Musayeva, who is serving a sentence in a Chechen penal colony-settlement, under Part 2 of Article 321 - on disorganization of the colony's activities. Allegedly, she hit an FSIN officer and tore off his shoulder strap. The woman does not admit her guilt and denies the investigation's version, her lawyer Alexander Savin said.
 
According to the previous sentence, Zarema Musayeva's prison term was supposed to end in the spring of 2025. Now she faces up to five years in prison.
 
Zarema Musayeva has insulin-dependent diabetes type 2. In May, she was treated in a day hospital, and in June, in the final protocol, her diagnosis was changed to one that does not allow her to be released from prison due to health reasons.
 
Earlier, the European Court of Human Rights awarded Zarema Musayeva and her family compensation for inhumane treatment and threats by the Chechen authorities. In early March, the Pyatigorsk Cassation Court reduced the woman's sentence, reducing her term from 5 years to 4 years and 9 months in prison. Last year, she was convicted in Grozny on charges of using violence against a government official.
 
Recall that on January 20, 2022, police officers from Chechnya arrived in Nizhny Novgorod and forcibly took Musayeva to her home region. After being taken to Grozny, the woman was accused of using force against a police officer. Allegedly, she scratched his face.
 
Zarema Musayeva is the mother of Chechen activists Abubakar, Ibrahim and Baysangur Yangulbaev. Human rights activists claim that she was kidnapped as a hostage and convicted for her sons' opposition activities.
