Press relese, 25.01.2015
YABLOKO’s Nikolai Kavkazsky launched a petition demanding to investigated the murder of YABLOKO member, journalist Timur Kuashev.
The journalist was gone on July 31 2014 and 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.
“There grounds to suspect that the authorities of Kabardino-Balkaria aren’t interested in finding those guilty of Timur Kuashev’s murder. Only public attention can protect the people who are persecuted by the authorities and restore justice”, claim Nikolai Kavkazsky.
