Seda Dudurkaeva is a Chechen woman and Russian citizen arrested in Turkey as an alleged terrorist. She is the widow of prominent Georgian-Chechen Islamic State commander, Abu Omar al-Shishani. She is also daughter of the prominent former head of the migration service for Chechnya, Asu Dudurkayev.

Her immigration to Syria to marry Al-Shishani and her later arrest in Turkey drew widespread press attention. The resulting scandal resulted in her father's removal from his post.

Retrieved 8 November 2023. 20-year-old Seda Dudurkaeva fell in love with a young man who had an Islamic thought outside of traditional Islam. In April 2013, the man she loved left the country to fight in Syria, and Seda, who was waiting for a suitable moment, went to Syria after him... Seda was captured on camera while at the Syrian border, but no one saw Seda again after that. Seda's family asked the officers for help to reach the man from whom Seda ran away. The officer managed to find the brother of the man from whom Seda ran away. His brother agreed to help and went to Syria. He found both the girl and his beloved. He tried to persuade them to return, but they refused to return (to Russia).
