Instagram bans Ramzan Kadyrov once again

Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov briefly regained access to his Instagram account yesterday, after being blocked from the platform for nearly a year.

Kadyrov was one of a number of individuals sanctioned under the US's Global Magnitsky Act last December.

"This account was mistakenly restored and has now been removed," BuzzFeed News cited a spokesperson for Instagram as saying.

In a post on Telegram earlier, Kadryov had said that "justice prevailed" in the unlocking of his account.
