Today, the Staropromyslovsky District Court of Grozny has extended the term of arrest of rights defender Oyub Titiev until June 9.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that since January 11, Oyub Titiev, the head of the Grozny office of Human Rights Centre (HRC) "Memorial", is being kept in custody on the charge of possession of marijuana.
