The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, confirmed the information that his son Adam beat Nikita Zhuravel, who burned the Koran on video in Volgograd. The arsonist was detained for insulting the feelings of believers and transported to Chechnya.
Kadyrov approved of his son’s action. “He beat me and did the right thing,” he wrote on his Telegram channel, adding that he was proud of his son’s behavior. The head of Chechnya noted that “whoever encroaches on any Holy Scripture, including demonstratively burning it, thereby offending tens of millions of citizens of our great country, must suffer severe punishment.”
In turn, the representative of the Human Rights Council under the President of the Russian Federation Valery Fadeev, commenting on what happened, said that provocations in the form of burning the Koran are unacceptable. At the same time, he recalled the rules of detention of “accused and suspects, which must be strictly observed.” The Telegram channel of the Human Rights Council reports that Fadeev called burning the Koran a serious crime that must be punished according to the law.
For her part, member of the Human Rights Council Marina Akhmedova stated that she “does not agree with the beating of a person who is in a defenseless state.” The human rights activist expressed the opinion that no insults to religion justify breaking the law and that the punishment should be determined by the court, not Kadyrov’s son.
A criminal case has been initiated against Nikita Zhuravel under Part 2 of Art. 148 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (public actions expressing clear disrespect for society and committed with the aim of insulting the religious feelings of believers). It is being investigated by the Investigative Committee of the Investigative Committee for the Chechen Republic.
Earlier it became known that in new history textbooks, on behalf of Kadyrov, the chapter on repressed peoples would be rewritten.
