Ramzan Kadyrov has ruled Chechnya with an iron fist since he was installed as the region's leader in 2007.
The United States, Canada, and 14 European states say Russia has failed to respond to serious human rights violations and abuses in the North Caucasus region of Chechnya, where a "climate of impunity" continues to prevail against human rights defenders, journalists, and members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community.
The joint statement .. https://osce.usmission.gov/supplementary-human-dimension-meeting-joint-statement/ .. was delivered to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) on May 26, 17 months after a fact-finding report .. https://www.rferl.org/a/osce-cites-torture-executions-among-grave-rights-violations-in-chechnya/29667900.html .. presented at the OSCE said the authorities in Chechnya had committed torture, enforced disappearances, extrajudicial executions, and other "very serious" human rights violations and abuses.
The victims included members of the LGBT community, human rights defenders, lawyers, independent media, and civil society organizations, according to the 2018 report.
"Seventeen months have passed since this report was issued. However, there has been no constructive response to the report or its recommendations from the Russian federal authorities," the joint statement said, calling the situation in Chechnya "deeply worrying."
Ramzan Kadyrov has ruled Chechnya with an iron fist since he was installed as the region's leader by President Vladimir Putin in 2007.
"We will continue to raise our concerns with regard to the numerous credible allegations of ongoing serious human rights violations and abuses in Chechnya until we receive a substantive response from the Russian Federation and observe tangible progress in the region," the statement said.
Besides the United States and Canada, the signatories included Belgium, Britain, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden.
The report .. https://www.osce.org/odihr/407402?download=true .. on human rights violations in Chechnya was the result of the invocation in November 2018 by the 16 OSCE member states of a diplomatic tool known as the Moscow Mechanism.
The mechanism allows for an investigation to be launched without consensus and independently of the OSCE chairmanship, institutions, and decision-making bodies if one member state, supported by at least nine others, "considers that a particularly serious threat to the fulfillment of the provisions of the [OSCE] human dimension has arisen in another participating state."

If the transaction seemed suspicious—multiple apartments for a single buyer who appeared to have no legitimate way to put his hands on that much money—there may have been a reason. At the time, Russian mobsters were beginning to invest in high-end real estate, which offered an ideal vehicle to launder money from their criminal enterprises. “During the ’80s and ’90s, we in the U.S. government repeatedly saw a pattern by which criminals would use condos and high-rises to launder money,” says Jonathan Winer, a deputy assistant secretary of state for international law enforcement in the Clinton administration. “It didn’t matter that you paid too much, because the real estate values would rise, and it was a way of turning dirty money into clean money. It was done very systematically, and it explained why there are so many high-rises where the units were sold but no one is living in them.” When Trump Tower was built, as David Cay Johnston reports [ https://www.mhpbooks.com/books/the-making-of-donald-trump/ ] in The Making of Donald Trump, it was only the second high-rise in New York that accepted anonymous buyers.
