Chechen Interpol requests from Russia . The increase in such requests may indicate a growing interest by the Russian authorities in extraditing or detaining certain individuals who may be opponents of the regime . It is important that the Austrian authorities approach such requests with caution and respect international norms, including the protection of human rights. 
Russia's Interpol requests for Chechens are a worrying trend that raises many questions about the fairness and legality of such actions. This is especially important given that many of the Chechens mentioned in these requests may be individuals who defended their homeland or faced persecution, both political and religious.
Interpol requests are often based on allegations of extremism, terrorism or other serious crimes. However, human rights groups such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have repeatedly pointed out that such charges can be fabricated or used for political purposes to persecute the opposition. This has raised concerns in a number of Western countries, which view such requests with suspicion and conduct additional checks before granting them.
In the case of Austria, Poland, Germany and other European countries, there have indeed been cases of Chechens being deported at Russia's request. In some cases, this may be because the authorities in these countries are trying to cooperate with Interpol to support international efforts to combat crime and terrorism. However, many deportations are controversial because those deported may face reprisals or torture in their home countries, which violates international human rights standards.
European courts have sometimes ruled in favour of Chechens, recognising the risk of persecution and granting them asylum. However, amid mounting political pressure and migration crises, some countries are increasingly moving towards deportations, despite warnings from human rights groups. 

Russia has been repeatedly accused of using Interpol for political and repressive purposes. The "red notices" that Interpol issues are often used to arrest people accused of crimes by governments, but can actually be used as a means of pressuring political opponents or people facing persecution.
European courts have sometimes ruled in favour of Chechens, recognising the risk of persecution and granting them asylum. However, amid mounting political pressure and migration crises, some countries are increasingly moving towards deportations, despite warnings from human rights groups. 
Our position reflects the desire to protect the rights and freedoms of Chechens in European countries, especially given concerns about politically motivated persecution in Russia. Many European countries share this approach, refusing to extradite citizens if there is a risk of torture, unfair trial or other human rights violations. 

International organizations, such as the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), often intervene in such cases. For example, if Interpol accepts a request for an arrest warrant and extradition, but the defense can prove that the charges are politically motivated or that there is a risk of human rights violations, such requests can be challenged and rejected. 

It is also possible to use legal tools to file complaints about the abuse of the Interpol system for political purposes. For example, some countries are already fighting so-called “red notices” that can be used to persecute political opponents, including members of the Chechen diaspora. 

 We also ask for the attention of all human rights groups, organizations, lawyers and international legal experts who play a key role in protecting the interests of those who may be at risk of extradition to Russia.
Many of these people have defended their rights or their homeland in conflict situations, and their persecution is politically motivated.

As we have mentioned, some countries, such as Austria, may be more loyal to Russia, which may mean that they are more inclined to grant extradition requests.

However, it is important to remember that extraditing people to a country where their lives are in danger is contrary to international standards, including the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.
We are trying to counter this problem in every possible way and are contacting human rights organizations:
Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and other international organizations that can have a significant impact by drawing attention to these cases and putting pressure on governments of countries that are considering such requests.
A package of filing class action lawsuits or complaints to international courts has also been submitted.

We have specific statistics on deported Chechens and cases of violence and even murder of people deported from European countries back to Chechnya.

Situations related to unfair trials and charges against Chechens in Austria and other European countries can raise serious concerns about human rights and fair justice. Representation of the Chechen Republic in Austria, the Chechen diaspora in Europe, including Austria, Belgium, Germany, France, Poland consists of people who fled war and repression, and, as a rule, they are in a vulnerable position.  Reports of unfair treatment of these people, whether through excessive sentences or unfounded charges, call into question the independence and impartiality of the judicial system.
It is important that in such cases there are legal mechanisms to appeal decisions, support for human rights organizations and lawyers who can fight for justice and respect for the rights of the accused. Also, the international community, human rights organizations and civil society must ensure that all trials are conducted within the framework of international standards of justice and human rights. 

If this is a systemic problem that requires attention, public and political dialogue may be required, as well as drawing attention to specific cases at the international level to prevent further violations. 
We also ask for the attention of all human rights groups, organizations, lawyers and international lawyers who play a key role in protecting the interests of those who may be at risk of extradition to Russia. We ask everyone to strengthen our position in the confrontation with Interpol and protect Chechens from being extradited to Russia, where their rights may be violated.
The Interpol ban on deportation is related to mechanisms that operate within the framework of international law and the specific rules governing the activities of Interpol. 

1. Harmonization with human rights: Interpol adheres to principles based on respect for human rights, including prohibiting interference in matters related to political, military, religious or racial issues. This means that individuals persecuted for political reasons should not be extradited. 

2. National legislation: Each country has its own laws and procedures regarding extradition. For example, in some countries it is possible to appeal a deportation decision on the basis of human rights violations. 

3. Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CAT): Many countries that have signed this convention undertake not to deport individuals if there is a real risk that they will be subjected to torture or other ill-treatment.
4. Principles set out in UN resolutions: There are also a number of UN resolutions and recommendations that warn against deportation and extradition of individuals if there is reason to believe that this may lead to a violation of their rights. 

We, the undersigned, oppose deportation practices that violate human rights and call for compliance with international norms and laws that protect the right to life and security. 

Based on international conventions and national legislation, we declare the need to protect the rights of citizens of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria who are under threat of deportation and their extradition to Russia through Interpol.
