In Germany and Sweden, regular actions will be held in defense of a refugee from Chechnya, who is threatened with deportation to Russia

On July 24, it is planned to hold rallies in front of the Swiss embassies in Sweden and Germany. The organizers demand the abolition of the illegal deportation to the Russian Federation of a refugee and critic of the Chechen authorities Ali Bataev. He is being held in Switzerland and faces torture and death if expelled.

The day before, rallies were held in Switzerland, Austria and Germany against the extradition of Ali Bataev. The participants noted that Russia was recognized as a state sponsor of terrorism, and the government of Ichkeria considers the territory of Chechnya temporarily occupied.

Ali Bataev had a residence permit in Ukraine. After the outbreak of the war, he left for Europe as a refugee and ended up in Switzerland. He arrived there in September 2022 and has since been imprisoned as an illegal refugee, where he has been on a hunger strike. If extradited to Russia, Bataev will face death, as he is a critic of the political regime in Chechnya.
