A Kaspiysk administration representative stated that waste removal is delayed due to the condition of the landfill and the road. Social media users stated that the road had been in this condition before, demanding that the authorities organize solid municipal waste removal and provide a sufficient number of containers.
Kadyrov's statement that Zarema Musayeva was detained because of the Yangulbayev family's work on social media confirms the political nature of her persecution, but in the current reality, the Chechen leader's confession will not lead to a review of Musayeva's sentences, human rights activists noted.
Musayeva will not appeal the sentence in the new case, as she does not believe in a fair decision and it is physically difficult for her to be in the pretrial detention center. The decision on the place where Musayeva will serve her sentence must be made by the Federal Penitentiary Service Directorate for Chechnya.
At the session of the Shali City Court, Zarema Musayeva, speaking with her final statement, refused to admit guilt in disorganizing the work of the colony. She also asked not to send her to the penal colony-settlement, where she served her first term, as she fears for her life.
The prosecution's version of Zarema Musayeva's attack on a prison colony employee is based only on his testimony; witnesses did not confirm her guilt. During the debate, the defense demanded that Musayeva be acquitted.
Human rights activists pointed out the contradiction between the testimony of security forces and the recording of the arrest, which shows Musaeva being dragged by the arms and legs.
The employee of the Federal Penitentiary Service (known as FSIN), involved as a victim in a case against Zarema Musaeva, has once again failed to appear for questioning in court. He explained the failure to come with his poor health state. The last prosecution witness questioned by the court testified in favour of Zarema Musaeva.
The kidnapping of the blogger, Areg Schepikhin, has recalled the involvement of Chechen law enforcers in the disappearance of Salman Tepsurkaev and the detention circumstances of Zarema Musaeva. The details of the incident leave open the issue of whether law enforcers in Moscow were notified of the actions of their Chechen colleagues.
The Supreme Court (SC) of Chechnya has refused to satisfy the complaint lodged by Zarema Musaeva's defence and release her from the SIZO (pre-trial prison) for the investigation period.
According to the ruling of the Shali District Court, Zarema Musaeva will remain in custody in the case on disrupting the operation of the penal colony until August 26. The defence will lodge an appeal against the above ruling of the Shali District Court.
By May 1 this year, the court must issue a decision on a new freedom restriction measure for Zarema Musaeva in the case of disrupting the work of the colony. If they fail to decide by this date, it will be considered that no measure has been chosen for Musaeva.
Two thirds of the funds needed to help Zarema Musaeva with medical treatment have been raised within two weeks. Some of the vital medicines have already been handed over to the political prisoner.
In Chechnya, a court questioned Zarema Musaeva in a case on disruption of the activities of a penal colony. The version of physical harm inflicted to a penal colony employee is a pre-planned fabrication and revenge, Zarema Musaeva claims.
At the first hearing in the case on disorganization of the operation of the penal colony, Zarema Musaeva refused to admit guilt. The Shali City Court extended her arrest for six months.
