Milashina rebukes Chechen law enforcers for unwillingness to investigate her beating

Chechen policemen have failed to request videos from the surveillance cameras in the hotel, where Elena Milashina, an observer of the "Novaya Gazeta", and Marina Dubrovina, a Krasnodar lawyer, were beaten up, in order to identify the attackers, said Elena.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on February 6, Milashina and Dubrovina were attacked by a group of men and women in a Grozny hotel.

The Chechen police haven't requested the video records of surveillance cameras in the Grozny hotel where they were beaten, Elena Milashina said in her material posted on February 16 on website of the "Novaya Gazeta" newspaper.

According to Elena Milashina, the policemen, who examined the venue of the attack, took only a photo of the floor to which Milashina and Dubrovina fell during the attack. "Nobody has yet requested the records from the hotel surveillance cameras, although they could allow identifying the attackers in hot pursuit," says the post.
