En russisk journalist og en advokat som kom til Groznyj for å følge rettssaken mot regimekritikeren Zarema Musayeva, ble overfalt av maskerte menn og grovt mishandlet like etter at de hadde forlatt flyplassen.

Elena Milashina, an award-winning writer and reporter, was «savagely» beaten by a group of attackers while on a trip to Chechnya, a Russian republic.

«Elena Milashina’s fingers have been broken and she is sometimes losing consciousness. She has bruises all over her body,» said human rights group Memorial.

Milashina ble truet på livet. Hun akter likevel å overveie rettssaken mot Musayeva som har sittet fengslet siden januar 2022.
