Biography

Zarema Sadulayeva was head of the Let's Save the Generation charity of Chechnya.[1] Her charity works with Unicef to aid Chechen children affected by the violence which has swept the Caucasus region since the 1990s.[1] The charity provides psychological counseling and physical aid to orphans, disabled children and others affected by the wars against Chechen separatists.[3]

Sadulayeva and Dzhabrailov, who was also active in the charity, married in 2009.[1] Neither were described as politically active.[4]

Sadulayeva and Dzhabrailov were kidnapped at the aid organization's office by gunmen wearing camouflage uniforms on 9 August 2009.[1][3] They were both found shot to death in the trunk of Dzhabrailov's car on 10 August 2009, in Chernorechye, a suburb of Grozny.[1]

Zarema Sadulayeva's death follows the similar kidnapping and murder of human rights activist Natalia Estemirova in Chechnya in July 2009.[1]
