> Russia’s Anti-War Committee says Chechen activist Mansur Movlaev attempted to take his own life twice within a week. He has spent a year and a half in an Almaty pretrial detention center awaiting extradition to Russia; after receiving treatment and being hospitalized following his first attempt on September 15, he tried again in the hospital.
