Head of Chechen Charity Murdered

HeadlineAug 11, 2009

The kidnapped head of a charity helping children in Chechnya was found dead of gunshot wounds in her car today along with her murdered husband. Armed men seized Zarema Sadulayeva and her husband Alik Dzhabrailov from the office of the Save the Generations charity in the regional capital Grozny. The Save the Generations charity that Sadulayeva headed provides medical and psychological help to young people who have suffered as a result of violence in Chechnya, including children who lost limbs during the region’s separatist wars. The murders comes one month after leading Chechen rights activist Natalia Estemirova was kidnapped and killed by unknown assailants.
