Lena Patyayeva

activist

Lena Patyaeva is a Saint Petersburg-based individual who has conducted solitary pickets in Grozny, Chechnya, demanding a thorough investigation into the disappearance of her friend, Seda Sulaymanova, a native of Chechnya. She has been repeatedly detained by Grozny police following these protests, with authorities citing violations of public event regulations; one report mentions a 10-day arrest, though this was later corrected as an error. Her actions have been documented by the human rights project 'Slovo Zashchity'.
