Chechen blogger escapes apparent assassination bid in Poland
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]
Tumso Abdurakhmanov
....the bearded former manager at a Chechen state telecom who fled west when accused of being a Wahhabi, which in Chechnya means membership in the Al Qaeda-linked Caucasus Emirate...
posted a video showing him disheveled and breathing hard, standing over the bloodied body of another man. “Who sent you? Where have you come from?” Abdurakhmanov asks, before producing a hammer, which he says was used by the man in an attempted murder.

The injured man on the ground, whose voice is muffled, replies that he came “from Moscow”7 and says, “They have my mother.” There was no immediate comment from Polish authorities.

The Sweden-based Chechen rights group Vayfond described the attack as an assassination attempt.

Abdurakhmanov is one of the most prominent and outspoken critics of Ramzan Kadyrov, the head of Russia’s Chechnya province. He left Chechnya in 2015 following threats from a Chechen official linked to Kadyrov.

After being refused asylum in Georgia, Abdurakhmanov moved to Poland, where he lived at an undisclosed location while attempting to apply for asylum. The application was rejected by Poland’s interior ministry in 2018.
