  • A blogger from Russia's mainly Muslim region of Chechnya critical of its strongman leader Ramzan Kadyrov said Thursday he had fended off an attacker with a hammer while at home in exile in Europe. Tumso Abdurakhmanov posted a video showing the attacker, whom he had apparently overpowered, covered in blood. He also brandished the hammer that he said the assailant wanted to kill him with. The Sweden-based Chechen rights group Vayfond described the attack as an "assassination attempt". Abdurakhmanov has for the last half decade lived in exile after receiving what he describes as threats to his life from Chechnya. His YouTube video blog critical of Kadyrov has some 75,000 subscribers. He gained greater international prominence earlier this year when he said that the murder of another Chechen blogger, Imran Aliev -- known as Mansur Stariy -- in the French city of Lille in late January was an assassination carried out by another Chechen whom he named. "Who sent you? Where did you come from?" Abdurakhmanov repeatedly asked the attacker in the video. The man said he had flown from Moscow to attack him. "They gave me your address," he said, adding: "They are holding my mother." His brother Mukhammad told the Kavkazky Uzel specialist website that Abdurakhmanov had been hospitalised under police guard with non-serious injuries following the attack in Poland. The attacker had also been hospitalised. Abdurakhmanov, 34, left Chechnya in 2015 and first sought sanctuary in Georgia where his request for asylum was rejected. He has since sought sanctuary in Poland but says his asylum bid there was rejected in 2018 due to possible security risks for the country. Attention on the risks for dissidents opposing Kadyrov's rule has been magnified by a row between Germany and Russia over the killing of the former Chechen rebel commander in a Berlin park in late 2019. Zelimkhan Khangoshvili, a 40-year-old Georgian national, was shot twice in the head at close range in Kleiner Tiergarten park on August 23, allegedly by a Russian man who was arrested shortly afterwards. Kadyrov has been Chechnya's number one since his father Akhmat was killed in a 2004 Grozny bomb attack. The Kremlin credits him with bringing stability to the area after an Islamist insurgency that followed two post-Soviet wars. But rights groups say this has come at the expense of horrific abuses including murders and kidnappings. tbm-sjw/mm/gd
