After refusal to soften Musaeva's freedom restriction measure, Yangulbaev shames judges

In Chechnya, judges rule under orders received from Ramzan Kadyrov's administration; and there is completely no judiciary in the republic, Saidi Yangulbaev, a retired Russian federal judge, has commented on the refusal of the Chechen Supreme Court (SC) to transfer his wife, Zarema Musaeva, under house arrest. He shamed the judges and called on them to resign.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on February 10, the Chechen SC refused to transfer place Musaeva from custody under house arrest due to her poor state of health, although an ambulance was called to her the night before the court session. Musaeva described her health condition as close to death.

Read the “Caucasian Knot” reference material “How Yangulbaevs became Kadyrov’s enemies” to find how the conflict began, what accusations Ramzan Kadyrov voiced, what the Yangulbaev family answered the leader of Chechnya, and what role in the development of the situation was played by an opposition Telegram channel.

On January 20, Zarema Musaeva, the wife of Saidi Yangulbaev, a retired Russian federal judge, was forcibly taken away by Chechen law enforcers to Grozny. After threats from the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, Saidi Yangulbaev and his daughter left Russia. Musaeva's son, Abubakar Yangulbaev, a lawyer, left Russia in late 2021. Ibragim Yangulbaev, another Musaeva's son, has been put on the wanted list within a criminal case of terrorism justification.
