Human rights activist, husband killed in Chechnya
August 11th, 2009 - 3:36 pm ICT by IANSGrozny, Aug 11 (RIA Novosti) The bodies of the head of a humanitarian organisation and her husband were found in Grozny early Tuesday, a spokesman for Chechen investigators said.
Zarema Sadulayeva of Let’s Save the Generation, which works with Chechen children injured in the Chechnya war and their parents, as well as her husband Alik Dzhabrailov were kidnapped Monday.
Their bodies, with numerous gunshot wounds, were found in the trunk of a car parked at the entrance to a local rehabilitation centre.
Chechen investigators have launched criminal proceedings. A team of leading experts from the Investigative Committee of the Russian Prosecutor General’s Office has also been summoned.
Another top member of Sadulayeva’s group, Murad Muradov, was abducted in 2005. His body was only handed over to his family a year later. The police said Muradov was a militant and had been killed in a special operation.
Sadulayeva’s death follows the murder of Chechen rights activist Natalya Estemirova in July, sparking outrage among Russian rights campaigners and consternation around the world.
