“Cut off their heads and bring them to us”: the head of the police in Chechnya called on compatriots in Europe to deal with the Yangulbaev family

A video message from the head of the Kurchaloy District Department of Internal Affairs of Chechnya, Rustam Aguev, appeared on the Web, calling for “destroying the Yangulbaev family.” It is reported by Znak.com.

“If you meet these hares (Yangulbaevs – ed.), chop off their heads and bring them to us! Why are you inactive?” – the head of the police addressed his compatriots living in Europe using Instagram, he is quoted by the publication with reference to the SOTA Telegram channel, which provided a translation into Russian.

Aguev, as noted, called on the Chechens “to find and destroy the Yangulbaev family, who left Russia after the conflict with the head of the republic, Ramzan Kadyrov.”

Recall that earlier family members of the former federal judge Yangulbaev received life threats, including from State Duma deputy Adam Delimkhanov and from the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov. The formal occasion was statements about local revered religious figures. The Chechen authorities also claim that the Yangulbaevs allegedly persuaded the inhabitants of the republic to engage in terrorist and extremist activities. Human rights activists believe that the persecution is connected with the Telegram channel, which criticized Kadyrov and other high-ranking officials of the Chechen Republic. The wife of the former judge Zarema Musaeva was taken from Nizhny Novgorod to Chechnya, where she is under arrest under the threat of criminal terms, her husband, daughter and sons fled abroad.

We add that on the eve of Peskov did not agree with statements that the situation in the Chechen Republic was out of control.
