Chechen advocate Timur Idalov released from punishment

Due to the expiration of the statute of limitations, the Court of Appeal has released Timur Idalov, a Chechen advocate, from punishment in the case of a murder threat, and the Moscow Regional Court also decided not to deprive him of his advocate’s status. This was reported by the human rights project "OVD-Info"*.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on January 21, Idalov was released from forced labour.

On November 28, 2024, the court sentenced Idalov to one year and 11 months of forced labour and banned him from practicing law for three years, finding him guilty of threatening the prosecutor. The deprivation of his advocate's practice was the most severe part of Idalov's punishment. The court unreasonably left him in custody pending appeal, although it was obliged to immediately release him. On December 27, 2024, Idalov was released and pointed out violations in his case.

In his video posted in the Telegram channel "Floor to Defence", Idalov has stated that the case against him has been completely falsified.
