Award-winning Russian investigative journalist Elena Milashina has been hospitalized after being 'savagely' beaten by armed assailants during a trip to Chechnya.
July 4, 2023 / 6:16 AM— An award-winning Russian investigative journalist is in hospital after being badly beaten by armed assailants during a trip to Chechnya, the Memorial human rights group said on Tuesday.
The incident happened early on Tuesday as Milashina and Alexander Nemov, a lawyer, were travelling from the airport. The Committee Against Torture, a human rights group, published photos of Milashina in hospital with her head shaved and covered in a green-colored dye used on cuts and her hands bandaged.
Novaya Gazeta said she was in Grozny to attend the sentencing of Zarema Musayeva, the mother of three exiles critical of Chechen strongman Ramzan Kadyrov.
