Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov withdrew his libel suits and criminal prosecution requests against human rights activists Lyudmila Alexeyeva and Oleg Orlov and against Novaya Gazeta newspaper, who had accused Kadyrov of human rights violations, including involvement in murders. The Chechen government web site explains that his mother admonished him that “Chechen traditions forbid disputes with elders.” (Kadyrov is 33, Orlov is 56, Alexeyeva is 82.) Kadyrov complied the same day.
