"#Milashina is in Moscow in hospital. Her condition is, frankly, difficult. She was really severely beaten," #Dmitry #Muratov, the editor in chief of the independent newspaper #Novaya #gazeta, told AFP.
The journalist said in the video that around 10 to 15 attackers had beaten her with plastic pipes.
She said that authorities routinely used such pipes to attack detainees in Chechnya, and that she had written about the practice before.
"It is a powerful weapon," she said in the video. "It really hurt."
Since 2000, Novaya gazeta has seen six of its journalists and contributors killed.
Muratov, co-winner of the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize, suspended the newspaper’s operations in March 2022 after receiving warnings from state communications regulator Roskomnadzor regarding its coverage of Russia's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.
Milashina, 45, who covers rights abuses in #Chechnya for Russia's top independent newspaper, Novaya gazeta, received a #brain #injury, bruises, and up to 14 #fractures in her hands in the beating, Novaya gazeta said on July 5 after she was examined in a Moscow clinic.
Milashina is conscious and in stable condition, Novaya gazeta Europe said, citing doctors. The condition of #Nemov, who was stabbed in the leg, has not been reported.
The newspaper released pictures of Milashina showing both her hands bandaged. The attackers also shaved her head and doused green antiseptic on her face and head.
Milashina noted that the attackers grabbed her equipment but didn’t touch cash and other valuables that she and Nemov had with them, leaving her certain that the attack was #directly #related to their #professional #work in Chechnya.

Award-Winning Russian Journalist And Lawyer Badly Beaten In Chechnya
Journalist #Yelena #Milashina and lawyer #Aleksandr #Nemov have been moved to a hospital in Moscow, the #Novaya #Gazeta publication reported on Telegram on July 5. They sustained multiple injuries, the rights group reported.
"Milashina's fingers have been broken, and she is sometimes losing consciousness. She has bruises all over her body," the group said on social media. It added that Nemov had been stabbed in the leg.
"It was a classic kidnapping.... They pinned our driver down, threw him out of his car, got in, bent our heads down, tied my hands, knelt me down there, and put a gun to my head," Milashina told Mansur Soltayev, a Chechen human rights official, as she lay in a hospital in Grozny shortly after the attack.
Milashina and Nemov had traveled to Chechnya to attend the sentencing by a court of #Zarema #Musayeva, the jailed mother of three self-exiled outspoken Chechen opposition activists, Ibragim, Abubakar, and Baisangur #Yangulbayev, all of whom have fled the country citing harassment from Chechen authorities over their online criticism of Kremlin-backed Chechen head Ramzan #Kadyrov.

io sono distratto, qualcuno dei nostri pacifisti dal cuore tenero ha espresso sdegno per quanto hanno fatto a Elena #Milashina ? Qualcuno si è dichiarato garantista a tutela dei "presunti mandanti"? Qualcuno ha ancora il coraggio di dire che la ragione sta nel mezzo? Qualcuno ha ancora dubbi su quale #Russia bisogna sostenere? Qualcuno ha ancora voglia di contare le bombe per capire da che parte stare? chiedo, con banalità ...
