[KavkazUzel] The Fifth Cassation Court in Pyatigorsk refused to satisfy the complaint in the case of the Chechen blogger Islam Nukhanov, convicted in 2020, but reduced the term of his detention, the Memorial Human Rights Center * reported today.
The "Caucasian Knot" wrote that Islam Nukhanov was detained after an attempt to publish a video about the luxurious living conditions of Chechen officials. At the same time, he was accused of storing cartridges. After six months of detention, on October 1, 2020, the court issued an unprecedented decision for Chechnya - Nukhanov was released under house arrest.
However, two hours later, after returning home, officers from the Federal Penitentiary Service again came for Nukhanov. The next day, the court suddenly considered his case, sentencing him to four years in prison. Human rights defenders filed a complaint with the European Court of Human Rights, stating that Nukhanov was convicted on the basis of confessions extracted under torture.
The siloviki accused Nukhanov of having links with blogger Tumso Abdurakhmanov, but Abdurakhmanov himself denied this. The criminal prosecution of Islam Nukhanov is a "show flogging" for all residents of Chechnya trying to expose the authorities, he said.
Blogger Islam Nukhanov, like Tumso, was prosecuted in Chechnya after attempting to raise a socially significant issue, said Novaya Gazeta journalist Yelena Milashina. YouTube users in the comments to Nukhanov's video demanded that he be released.
The cassation appeal in the case of a 29-year-old resident of Chechnya Islam Nukhanov was considered today by the Fifth Cassation Court in Pyatigorsk. The court rejected the cassation appeal in the case of Nukhanov on illegal possession of weapons and an attack on a security officer. At the same time, the cassation court decided to reduce the term of Nukhanov's detention by four months - to three years and eight months, the Memorial Human Rights Center * reported today.
Human rights activists also intend to seek an investigation into the abduction and torture of Nukhanov and illegal imprisonment. On October 2, 2020, the court released Nukhanov under house arrest, and officers of the Federal Penitentiary Service were illegally taken back two hours later, according to today's message on the center's website.
