Zaur Dadaev, charged in Nemtsov murder, may have been tortured

I knew they were going to blame a Chechen from the get go. Now comes the torture.

Some observers say the charges laid against the pair, as well as the arrest of three other men from the North Caucasus who remain jailed in connection with the murder but have not been charged, could strain the Kremlin's relations with Kadyrov, who has run Chechnya like his own fiefdom while relying on federal subsidies.

In the wake of the attack on Charlie Hebdo in Paris, Kadyrov called those who defended the satirical magazine his "personal enemies." He also staged a massive rally in Grozny, the Chechen capital, to press the point.

Following his arrest, Kadyrov praised Dadaev as a brave soldier and a deeply religious man. He said on his Instagram account Saturday that Dadaev was shocked by the magazine's cartoons and the commentaries that supported them.
