Criminal defamation charges were brought against Oleg Orlov, the head of Russian human rights group "Memorial," following the completion of a police investigation. In 2009, Orlov accused Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov of involvement in the murder of Chechen rights activist Natalia Estemirova. Kadyrov previously won a civil suit against Orlov on the same grounds. Orlov faces up to three years in prison if convicted.
