A Muslim blogger is fearing for her safety after receiving a number of death threats because she posted a video of herself wearing an outfit that showed her stomach.
Madina Basaeva was wearing a yellow crop top and shorts and filmed herself dancing and miming to a song before posting the clip to her Instagram account.
Basaeva lives in Moscow but was born in Yekaterinburg to a family within the Tadzhiki community.
