Voronezh branch of YABLOKO demands to investigate murder of Timur Kuashev
Press release, 05.08.2015
The Voronezh branch of YABLOKO conducted picketing demanding to investigate murder of opposition journalist Timur Kuashev. Chair of North Ossetia Youth YABLOKO branch Alan Alikov participated in the action. The activists also collected signatures against military intervention to Ukraine.
Timur Kuashev was gone on July 31 2014. The next day the workers of the Rescue Service found his body was in a forest by the road. Timur’s relatives and friends are certain that Timur was murdered because of his political activity since Timur had received threats form the law enforcement including the Center for Combating Extremism (or Center E, as it is usually referred to, whose officers spend their time monitoring civil activists, harassing them at rallies, and spying on opposition politicians).
The criminal case under the Article 105 (murder) was brought only a month after his body was found due to public attention and pressure. An autopsist discovered an injection track under Timur’s arm but the results of an expertise haven’t been announced yet.
Youth YABLOKO continue signature collection on Change.org demanding to investigate the case.
