Nearly 25 people are demanding that the case of Selima Ismailova, who was abducted by security forces, be investigated in Moscow, not Chechnya.
A petition has appeared on Change.org demanding that the case of the 20-year-old Chechen woman be investigated not in the Chechen Republic, where her relatives may have connections in law enforcement, but in Moscow.
The petition's authors believe the girl's life and health are now in danger. The petition has been signed by nearly 25 people.
"NotMoscow Speaking" told the story of a 20-year-old Selim Ismailova, who fled domestic violence. On June 12, the girl wanted to leave for Germany to escape her abusive father, who regularly beat her and threatened to kill her, but was detained at Vnukovo Airport for allegedly stealing 85 rubles from a relative. Security forces took the girl to Chechnya and have not heard from her since.
