Chechen opposition activist Mansur Movlaev has had his asylum-seeker status extended in Kazakhstan, his lawyer Murat Adam announced on Facebook, publishing the relevant official document, Orda.kz reports.
Movlaev fled a secret prison in Chechnya in 2022 and illegally crossed into Kyrgyzstan without documents or legal status. In 2023, a court in Bishkek sentenced him to six months and ordered his deportation after serving his term.
On May 13, Movlaev was detained at Almaty’s Esentai Mall at the request of Russia. He later filed a request for asylum in Kazakhstan, which has now been extended.
