When I met Aslan Daudov, a 30-year-old Chechen asylum seeker whose name has been changed here on his request, he was afraid that he would be deported within a couple of hours to Poland. He was not as concerned about Poland’s negligible acceptance rate of Chechen asylum seekers; but was terrified of a much worse fate: that he might be kidnapped by agents of the [puppet] Chechen government, tortured and killed.

“Kavkaz-Uzel” reported with referring to an NGO representative in Chechnya “On 28 May, a student of one of the Chechen institutions of higher education was seized in the center of Grozny by puppet Kadirov’s gangs”.
