Amnesty International is concerned for the safety of Sulim Chadisov and up to 19 other ethnic Chechens, who are at risk of being forcibly returned to Russia from Germany following their failed attempts to gain refugee status. Should they be returned, they would be at risk of discrimination, detention, torture and ill-treatment on the basis of their ethnicity.
