“The maximum that our parents could afford in our childhood was to spank a child for disobedience, like in any family. Nobody ever beat her,” Leyla Gireeva’s sister added.

According to her, Leyla had health problems and received all the necessary medical treatment.

“No one was going to kill her. Even now, our dad is constantly protecting her,” Khava Gireeva says.
