Zarema Musaeva's parole court hearing was unexpectedly postponed a month later

Today, a court hearing in Chechnya to consider the issue of parole for Zarema Musaeva was canceled. It was postponed to June 26, the Team Against Torture reported.

The reason why Musayeva was not brought to the Shalinsky City Court is unknown to lawyer Alexander Savin. However, this has nothing to do with the woman’s health. 
Recently, Zarema Musaeva, who is being held in a Chechen penal colony, began receiving the necessary treatment in a hospital setting. 

The Shali City Court is hearing on Zarema Musaeva’s petition to release her from serving her sentence for health reasons. In addition to insulin-dependent type 2 diabetes, she has problems with her legs and uses crutches.

In early March, the Pyatigorsk Court of Cassation commuted the sentence of Zarema Musayeva from 5 years to 4 years and 9 months in prison. Last year in Grozny she was convicted on charges of using violence against a government official.

Let us remind you that on January 20, 2022, police officers from Chechnya came to Nizhny Novgorod and took Musaeva away. After being taken to Grozny, the woman was accused of using force against a police officer. According to investigators, she scratched his face. 

Zarema Musaeva is the mother of Chechen activists Abubakar, Ibragim and Baysangur Yangulbaev. Human rights activists claim that she was kidnapped as a hostage and convicted of her sons’ opposition activities.
