Yandiyeva fled her home, where her family had restricted her freedom of movement and subjected her to violence, on October 5.

Ingushetia in the North Caucasus shares land borders with Georgia to its south and the Russian republics of North Ossetia-Alania and Chechnya to its west and east. It is one of the republics that make up Russia.

According to the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), Ingushetia is “a lawless zone where enemies of the press can attack journalists with impunity.”
