Amnesty International has no hope that the murder of Sadulayeva and her husband in Chechnya will ever be opened
The international human rights organization Amnesty International (AI) does not believe that Russia is ever capable to open the murder in Chechnya of the leader of the NGO "Let's Save the Generation" Zarema Sadulayeva and her husband Alik Dzhabrailov.
The AI's statement notes that in recent years Russian authorities failed to bring to justice any of the customers of the murders of human rights activists, lawyers and journalists who worked in Northern Caucasus.
The AI demands from the international community to put pressure on Russian and Chechen authorities forcing them to put an end to this impunity, as reported by the "Echo Moskvy" Radio.
Today, a group of employees of the Russian General Prosecutor's Office arrived in Chechnya to help local inspectors in investigating the murder. The "Gazeta.Ru" writes about it with reference to Marina Gridneva, official spokesperson of the Office.
Also today in Grozny, President of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov held an emergency meeting with heads of law enforcement bodies and listened to their report on the progress of investigation into the murder of Zarema Sadulayeva and her husband Alik Dzhabrailov.
Mr Kadyrov has emphasized that Russian President Dmitri Medvedev had obliged the power and law enforcement bodies to investigate and open this murder.
According to his story, this murder has a demonstrative character. Its organizers and executors try to provoke citizens' discontent with the authorities and implant doubt of their ability to control the situation in the republic, the ITAR-TASS reports.
