[KavkazUzel] A native of Chechnya, Amina Gerikhanova, who was put on the wanted list by Russia as a participant in hostilities in Syria, received refugee status in Romania, the Vayfond human rights association reported today.
The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on September 8, the Chechen human rights association "Vaifond" based in Sweden informed that the Romanian police did not allow Amina Gerikhanova to be at large after being released from custody.
On September 22, it became known that Gerikhanova complained about the threats of the Romanian police to extradite her to Russia, even contrary to the recommendations of the ECtHR.
| The European Court of Human Rights, also known as the Strasbourg Court, is an international court of the Council of Europe which interprets the European Convention on Human Rights. |
On October 16, representatives of the Chechen diaspora held a picket in Vienna in support of Gerikhanova, and on October 30, employees of the human rights organization Amnesty International also took part in a demonstration in support of Gerikhanova in the capital of Austria.
Amina Gerikhanova received refugee status, the Chechen human rights association Vayfond reported today in its Telegram channel. The organization expressed its gratitude to everyone who participated in helping Amina and went to rallies in support of her.
Amina Gerikhanova, 36, was detained along with her child on March 13 at the Romanian border while trying to leave Ukraine, where she lived after leaving Chechnya about five years ago. Gerikhanov was arrested, and her son was placed in an orphanage, from where he was later taken by a relative.
Interpol is looking for Gerikhanov at the request of Russia, where she is accused of participating in hostilities in Syria. Gerikhanov will not be able to leave Romania, as the authorities still want her extradited to Russia. During the consideration of Amina Gerikhanova's asylum request, the ECtHR extended interim measures, which reduces the risk of her extradition from Romania to Russia, Vayfond reported earlier.
Gerikhanova's relative, Amrudi Bakharchiev, told RFE/RL on April 19 that Gerikhanova is wanted in Russia for allegedly taking part in military operations with the Islamic State terrorist group in Syria, which the woman and her relatives have denied.
