Activists in Europe have called for Movlaev's non-extradition to Russia.

Chechen activists in Warsaw and Vienna held pickets outside the Kazakh embassies, demanding that the decision to extradite Mansur Movlaev to Russia be reversed. They also demanded that Zelimkhan Murtazov, a deserter from Chechnya, be provided with legal protection.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," on January 30, it was reported that the Kazakh Prosecutor General's Office had ordered the extradition of Chechen native Mansur Movlaev to Russian security forces. The court has not yet considered the appeal against the denial of refugee status for Movlaev, his lawyers indicated. On February 3, it was reported that the Kazakh Prosecutor's Office's decision to extradite Movlaev to Russia had also been appealed.

On February 3, Chechen activists held a picket outside the Kazakh embassy in Warsaw, protesting the decision to extradite Mansur Movlaev to Russia. They also spoke in support of Zelimkhan Murtazov, who has been in the transit zone of Astana Airport for two months.

Blogger Islam Belokiev published a video of the protest on his YouTube channel. He also spoke at the protest, addressing the crowd in Russian and Polish.

The picketers held signs reading, "Brotherly people of Kazakhstan, don't allow your authorities to extradite Mansur Movlaev," "Kazakhstan, give shelter to the Chechen Murtazov Zelimkhan, who doesn't want to kill Ukrainians," "Kazakhstan, are you an independent country or a branch of Russia?" and others.

"We came to support Mansur Movlaev and ask that he not be extradited to Russia. The Kazakh authorities decided to extradite him at the request of the Russian Federation. Movlaev will undoubtedly face torture, humiliation, insults, and fabricated criminal charges. (...) Another situation is Murtazov Zelimkhan, who is in the transit zone at an airport in Kazakhstan. They wanted to forcibly send him to Ukraine to the so-called SVO, where he would have to kill Ukrainians, but he refused," Belokiev said during the protest.

He called on Kazakhstani authorities to at least allow both Chechen natives the opportunity to leave for a safe country. "If you don't let them in, at least give them transit, the opportunity to go somewhere else, to another country," the activist said.

A few days earlier, a rally in support of Movlayev and Murtazov took place outside the Kazakh embassy in Vienna. The protesters demanded the immediate release of both Chechen natives and that they be granted international protection, human rights activist Roza Dunaeva wrote on her Facebook page*.

"Kazakhstan is a member of the OSCE, a member of the UN, and they also signed the Geneva Convention (on the rights of refugees) in 1999. For Chechens and Ingush, Kazakhstan is a second homeland, so we demand: do not betray the country's principles; stand on the side of truth and justice," the activist said at the protest in Vienna.
