Amnesty International is seriously concerned about the health of Rasul Kudaev who, according to the latest reports from Memorial, a Russian human rights organization and his lawyer, is yet to receive a full medical examination by an independent doctor. His health deteriorated throughout 2008 and 2009 as a result of the lack of medical attention to his existing conditions and, allegedly, torture and ill-treatment while in detention. Rasul Kudaev remains under trial accused of organizing terrorist attacks on government installations in Nalchik in 2005.
