In Grozny, security forces beat a woman for comparing SVO participants to Russian soldiers who fought in Chechnya

A 64-year-old resident of Grozny was subjected to torture. This happened after she criticized local men fighting against Ukraine and compared them to soldiers of the Russian Federation during the Russian-Chechen wars.

According to the publication "That's how", at the wake in July 2024, in the circle of other women, she said: "Why do you allow them to be sent to war? And how are your sons fighting in Ukraine better than the Russian soldiers who came to kill us in the two Chechen wars?" The mother of the deceased answered: "Are they asking us?"

Soon, unknown persons abducted the woman and subjected her to torture, including the use of electric shocks. She was released only after her relatives paid a ransom of 350,000 rubles. The publication reported that in 1995, her husband was killed during the storming of the presidential palace in Grozny, and in 2015, security forces questioned her brother, who later died of his injuries.
