Zarifa Sautiyeva is an activist from Ingushetia who fought against changing the borders between Ingushetia and Chechnya. For her participation in the protests, she was detained, subjected to pressure and sentenced to 7.5 years in prison for participating in an extremist community.
Zarifa was one of the few women who openly spoke out against Russian policy towards Ingushetia and became a symbol of resistance in the region. Her imprisonment is an indicator of the regime’s fear of women leaders.
Freedom to Zarifa Sautieva! Support her in the fight for justice.
