On Wednesday, 4 December a rally was held in the capital in support of Chechen refugee Selima Khadisova, who was detained in October at the airport in Bosnia and Herzegovina at the request of Russia. She is accused of aiding fighters of the national liberation movement of Ichkeria.
Espresso correspondent Yulia Zubchenko reports this.
Concerned Kyiv residents went to the consulate of Bosnia and Herzegovina and wrote an appeal to draw attention to this situation.

As noted by Oleg Medunitsa, president of the Anti-Imperial Bloc of Peoples, Selima Khadisova is not a terrorist, as she is accused in the Russian Federation. She is associated with the resistance movement to the Russian occupation of Chechnya and is currently in prison in Sarajevo because of her political beliefs.
“We want the Bosnian authorities to consider this case carefully and this politically motivated detention to be lifted, and Salima Hadisova to be released and reunited with her children who are in Bosnia,” Medunica emphasized.

He noted that the Anti-Imperial Block of Nations supports political prisoners held in the Russian Federation, especially many of them from among the nations enslaved by Russia.
“We understand that if the peoples enslaved by Russia rise and do not support the aggressive actions of the Kremlin regime, this will bring our victory closer,” the Bloc president emphasized.
