Zarema Sadulayeva (Russian: Зарема Садулаева) (1974 - 10 August 2009) was a Russian children's activist and head of the aid organization, Let's Save the Generation, based in Chechnya.[1] She and her husband, Alek Dzhabrailov (August 11, 1976 - August 10, 2009),[2], were found murdered in August 2009.[1]
Zarema Sadulayeva was head of the Let's Save the Generation charity of Chechnya.[1] Her charity works with Unicef to aid Chechen children affected by the violence which has swept the Caucasus region since the 1990s.[1] The charity provides psychological counseling and physical aid to orphans, disabled children and others affected by the wars against Chechen separatists.[3]
Sadulayeva and Dzhabrailov, who was also active in the charity, married in 2009.[1] Neither were described as politically active.[4]
Sadulayeva and Dzhabrailov were kidnapped at the aid organization's office by gunmen wearing camouflage uniforms on August 9, 2009.[1][3] They were both found shot to death in the trunk of Dzhabrailov's car on August 10, 2009, in Chernorechye, a suburb of Grozny.[1]
Zarema Sadulayeva's death follows the similar kidnapping and murder of human rights activist Natalia Estemirova in Chechnya in July 2009.[1]
