Trainer Satish Seemar’s License Suspended Over Alleged Involvement With Human Rights Abuse

The Emirates Racing Authority has suspended the license of six-time champion trainer Satish Seemar over alleged involvement with human rights abuse, reports racingpost.com. The action was taken after Seemar was named as a “prominent member” of the network of Ramzan Kadyrov, Head of the Chechen Republic, on the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) list.

Kadyrov, leader of the Kadyrovtsy, is implicated in the murder of Boris Nemtsov, an opposition politician to Russian President Vladimir Putin, as well as the kidnapping, torturing, and killing of members of the LGBTI population in the Chechen Republic. The Kadyrovtsy are also accused of illegal abductions, torture, extrajudicial executions, and other abuses, including the detention of journalists and activists.

The OFAC list claims: “Seemar, a horse trainer for Kadyrov, has materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial material, or technological support for, or goods and services to or in support of, Kadyrov.”

Seemar is listed as the trainer of Kadyrov's Group 1-winning Thoroughbred North America, but told the Racing Post that he no longer trains the horse.

“The horse in question, North America, is no longer in training at Zabeel Racing Stables and has been exported from the UAE,” Seemar told racingpost.com. “My case has been submitted to lawyers in Washington DC and I'm confident my name will be removed from the list in the near future.”
