Rights Activist Prosecuted for Defaming Chechen President

Criminal defamation charges were brought against Oleg Orlov, the head of Russian rights group Memorial, for stating that Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov was “guilty” of the murder of Chechen rights activist Natalia Estemirova. Earlier Kadyrov won a libel suit against Orlov and Memorial for this statement.
