Lidia Muhtarovna Yusupova (Russian: Лидия Мухтаровна Юсупова; born September 15, 1961) is a Russian-Chechen human rights advocate, currently serving as the coordinator for the law office of the Moscow-based organization Memorial.
Later she studied law at the Chechen University in the city of Grozny, and served as a professor in that field.
Yusupova gathers testimony from victims of human rights abuses, and presses their cases with law enforcement and military agencies.
Not only does she, to the extent possible, provide the victims with legal assistance, but she also informs the rest of the world on violations of human rights, committed by Russian armed forces and Chechen rebels alike.
The International Federation of Human Rights reported that Yusupova faced death threats for her work on October 12, 2006.
