After similar attacks on exiled dissidents, a well-known Chechen blogger has survived an apparent assassination attempt in Poland.
Tumso Abdurakhmanov is one of the most prominent and outspoken critics of Ramzan Kadyrov, the head of Russia’s Chechnya province. He left Chechnya in 2015 following threats from a Chechen official.
After being refused asylum in Georgia, Abdurakhmanov moved to Poland, where he has lived in an undisclosed location while attempting to apply for asylum. The application was rejected by Poland’s interior ministry in 2018.
Amnesty International denounced that decision, saying that Abdurakhmanov would be placed “at very real risk of torture” were he to be deported back to Russia.
