Encyclopedic overview
Natalya Khusainovna Estemirova (Russian: Наталья Хусаиновна Эстемирова, Chechen: Наталья Хусайнан йоI Эстемирова; 28 February 1958 – 15 July 2009) was a Russian human rights activist and board member of the Russian human rights organization Memorial. Estemirova was abducted by an unknown group of people on 15 July 2009 around 8:30 a.m. from her home in Grozny, Chechnya, as she was working on "extremely sensitive" cases of human rights abuses in Chechnya. Two witnesses reported they saw Estemirova being forced into a car shouting that she was being abducted. Her remains were later found with bullet wounds in the head and chest area at 4:30 p.m. in woodland 100 metres (330 ft) away from the federal road "Kavkaz" near the village of Gazi-Yurt, Ingushetia.
