Who was Zura Bitiyeva?
Zura Bitiyeva was a locally well-known Chechen human rights activist who was extrajudicially executed by a Russian government death squad in 2003 after she complained to the European Court of Human Rights of ill treatment during an earlier illegal detention. Three other members of her immediate family were also killed in the same attack.
Bitiyeva's was not an isolated case and many people in Chechnya who have submitted cases of serious human rights violations to the ECHR have been also subjected to reprisals, including being killed or forcibly disappeared.
