Ms Milashina suffered a brain injury and was left with several broken fingers, while lawyer Alexander Nemov had a deep cut on his leg. An award-winning Russian journalist, who has spent years investigating purported human rights abuses in Chechnya, has been seriously injured in an attack by armed masked men. Yelena Milashina had just arrived in the Russian province where she was due to attend the court sentencing of Zarema Musayeva, a woman who was allegedly unjustly persecuted for political reasons. Ms Milashina was travelling to Chechnya’s capital Grozny with a lawyer Alexander Nemov when they were both attacked just outside the local airport. Their vehicle was blocked by several cars and they were beaten by several masked assailants, who put guns to their heads and broke their equipment.

She had received threats to her life before. Her employer evacuated her from Russia last year after Kadyrov described her as a terrorist in a social media post and she was assaulted in Chechnya in 2020.
