Zarema Musaeva reported on the deterioration of health in remand centres and support from people.

The stay in the Grozny remand centre for more than a year and the frequent court hearings worsened the health of Zarema Musayeva. She wrote about this in a letter through the service "FSIN-letter".
The woman complained of impaired vision, which prevents her from reading books. She suffers from diabetes, the disease is progressing. Musaeva noted that the court hearings bore her. In pre-trial detention, a woman mostly answers letters that give her tremendous support, reads books, wants to learn to draw.
It happens that for a long time I can not sleep. I go through everything and I can not understand why I suffer. I know that after each difficulty comes relief. And this is a temporary difficulty. No matter how many ropes are twisted, the end is everything», - wrote Zarema in a letter.
It should be recalled that the mother of Chechen opponents Ibrahim and Abubakar Yangulbayev were kidnapped in January 2022 in Nizhny Novgorod, and then taken to Chechnya. Despite his health problems, Zarema Musaeva is being held at the detention centre of Grozny as a person involved in the case of assault of a policeman. She allegedly scratched the face of a police officer. The examination did not confirm this fact.

A Moscow blogger recorded a video apologising after making offensive remarks about Chechens during a livestream. In the video, he is seen kneeling and addressing the Chechen people:
​“I want to sincerely apologise to Chechnya for my words. At the time, I was drunk and said too much, but that is no excuse for my behaviour. I understand that my words could have been perceived as disrespectful to you and to your people, the people of Chechnya. I did not intend to show disrespect, and I sincerely regret what I said. I ask for your forgiveness! I respect you and understand that I should have watched what I said, regardless of the state I was in. This will not happen again on my part,” the blogger said.
