The situation of Yelena Milashina and Alexander Nemov
CAT head Sergei Babinets published a photo of Yelena Milashina in a phone call with Russian Human Rights Commissioner Tatiana Moskalkova.
Yelena Milashina’s hand looks bandaged.
His head was almost bald from the hair the attacker had shaved off.
He also had some bruises on his face smeared with green paint, the Moscow Times reported.
He suffered a brain injury from the beating and was initially diagnosed with three broken fingers, although doctors later said they were intact.
Yelena Milashina is being treated in a hospital in the city of Beslan in the North Caucasian Republic by order of Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov.
Meanwhile, Alexander Nemov was also seriously injured and CAT published a photo showing a stab wound to his leg.
“We have instructed the responsible services to make every effort to identify the attackers,” Ramzan Kadyrov said on Tuesday afternoon (04.07.2023) in his official telegram.
“The authorities started work immediately after the incident was reported,” he continued.
