Chechen President Denies Involvement in Estemirova Murder

Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov called Oleg Orlov, the head of the Memorial human rights group, who had accused Kadyrov of the involvement in the murder of Memorial member Natalia Estimirova. Kadyrov categorically denied any such involvement. “You will be ashamed when the crime is solved and the real murderers are found,” Kadyrov said. Later Kadyrov’s representatives declared Kadyrov’s intention to sue Orlov for libel. Meanwhile, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev called the version of Kadyrov’s involvement “primitive” and “most unacceptable for the authorities.”
