Prominent Russian journalist Elena Milashina was hospitalised after assailants carried out a brutal attack on her and lawyer Alexander Nemov in Chechnya.
Video shows Milashina had both hands bandaged in gauze and her head and her face covered in a green dye called zelyonka that was thrown on her during the attack. Milashina and Nemov had stab wounds, broken fingers and head wounds.
Milashina, a journalist for Russia’s independent Novaya Gazeta newspaper, was travelling with Nemov from the airport to Grozny, where a verdict was expected in the case of Zarema Musayeva, whose detention is seen as retribution for her family’s political activism against Chechnya’s ruler, Ramzan Kadyrov
