The Supreme Court of Chechnya refused to release Zarema Musayeva from custody. The lawyer of the "Team Against Torture" asked the court to soften the measure of restraint.

"If Musayeva's measure of restraint is changed to house arrest or a ban on certain actions, she will be able to leave the Grozny pretrial detention center and seek the necessary help and rehabilitation from doctors," the lawyer noted.

The prosecutor considered that the court did not justify the need for further detention and asked to send the materials for a new trial.

Recall that at the same time, the Shali City Court began the debate of the parties in the criminal case on disorganization of the activities of the colony (Part 2 of Article 321 of the Criminal Code) against Zarema Musayeva. According to investigators, the seriously ill woman attacked the escort accompanying her to the hospital, scratched his neck and tore off his shoulder strap.

Zarema Musayeva denies the charges against her. Earlier in court, she quoted the words of the alleged victim Bekbulatov: "Your children write all sorts of things, including about me. I will say that you attacked me."

Zarema Musayeva is the wife of former federal judge Saidi Yangulbaev and the mother of Chechen activists Ibragim, Baysangur and Abubakar Yangulbaev. In early March 2024, the Pyatigorsk Cassation Court reduced her sentence on the previous charge, reducing her prison term from 5 years to 4 years and 9 months. In July 2023, a court in Grozny found the woman guilty of using violence against a police officer and fraud and sentenced her to five years in prison. Investigators believe she scratched the face of a Chechen police officer during her transfer from Nizhny Novgorod to Grozny. Human rights activists claim the woman was kidnapped as a hostage and convicted for her sons' opposition activities.
