Headscarves have gradually become required in administrative buildings and educational institutions. On October 23, Amirkhan Sugaipov, an aide to the head of the Chechen Republic, said the authorities would hold “explanatory talks” with those who will not wear headscarves. Women interviewed by Human Rights Watch described the current situation as humiliating.

On October 19, the body of 23-year-old Chechen woman Aishat Baimuradova was found in Yerevan. She had fled Chechnya to Armenia due to domestic violence and threats to her life.

The crisis group “SK SOS” has launched a petition calling on the Armenian authorities to conduct an investigation independent of political pressure and to strengthen protection for those most at risk.
