Ingush Woman Who Fled Abuse Released in Moscow as Investigators Open Case Into Her Claims

Investigators in Ingushetia have opened a case into her allegations following her police statement.

Overview

  • Police detained the 21-year-old in Moscow on suspicion of theft under Article 158, a charge rights groups say is often used to force women back to abusive families.
  • RIA Novosti reports she was released from the Sviblovo police station after rights advocates intervened, and she said she is now in a safe place.
  • The Investigative Committee in Ingushetia opened a criminal case into alleged violence by relatives and placed the probe under the regional chief’s supervision.
  • The Marem rights group says Moscow police intended to hand her to Ingush operatives and warns she could face disappearance, citing the unresolved case of Seda Suleymanova.
  • Marem published her statement alleging sexualized abuse by relatives and denying the theft accusation, noting she fled Ingushetia in April 2025 without documents and later removed herself from a missing-person search.
