Russian journalist and lawyer beaten in Chechnya: 'The investigation will no doubt be unsuccessful' On the morning of July 4, Elena Milashina, a journalist with the independent Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta, and Alexandre Nemov, a lawyer, were beaten on their way to a trial in Grozny, Chechnya.

According to the Crew Against Torture, a Russian human rights organisation that is supporting the two victims, the attackers may be linked to authorities in the Chechen Republic.
