Yangulbaev blames investigators for ignoring threat claims
Members of the Yangulbaev family have failed to receive any investigators' reaction to their threat claims, incitement of hatred and slander by top Chechen officials.
The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on January 20. Zarema Musaeva, the wife of the retired Russian federal judge Saidi Yangulbaev, was forcibly taken to Grozny by law enforcers. The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, accused the Yangulbaevs of supporting terrorism. Because of these threats, Saidi Yangulbaev and his daughter had to leave Russia.
After Musaeva's abduction, lawyers of the "Committee against Torture" (CaT)* have filed 10 petitions, 21 complaints, 11 appeals, two requests and seven applications about law enforcers' actions, but there were no results.
Read the “Caucasian Knot” reference material “How Yangulbaevs became Kadyrov’s enemies” to find how the conflict began, what accusations Ramzan Kadyrov voiced, what the Yangulbaev family answered the leader of Chechnya, and what role in the development of the situation was played by an opposition Telegram channel.
"Kadyrov wrote on his Telegram channel that our 'family is waiting for a place either in prison or under the ground.' I demanded to check these statements," said Abubakar Yangulbaev.
The state of health of Zarema Musaeva is deteriorating, Natalia Dobronravova, an advocate, has informed.
* The “Committee Against Torture” (CaT) was included by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) of Russia in the register of NCOs-foreign agents in 2015. In this regard, leaders liquidated the organization and created a new legal entity: the “Committee for the Prevention of Torture”, which was also included in the list of foreign agents, and the organization was closed. At present, the “Committee Against Torture” operates as an unregistered public association.
