The beating of the arrested Nikita Zhuravel by the son of the head of Chechnya will be checked in the republic

In Chechnya, they will check the complaint of Nikita Zhuravel that he was beaten in the Grozny pre-trial detention center by the son of the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov. This was announced by the Commissioner for Human Rights of the Russian Federation Tatyana Moskalkova.

She appealed to the Chechen Ombudsman Mansur Soltaev with a request, within the framework of her powers, to conduct an investigation into this case, especially asking “to pay attention to the medical examination of the beatings and the testimonies of witnesses.”

Earlier it became known that Kadyrov and his 15-year-old son Adam arrived in the Grozny pre-trial detention center. They talked with Nikita Zhuravel. The first of them left, the second remained in the cell and, according to the prisoner, beat him.

Nikita Zhuravel was detained in Volgograd after the publication of a video with the burning of the Koran in front of the city mosque. The Sledkom noted that the Volgograd student did this at the direction of the Ukrainian special services for 10 thousand rubles.

The criminal case on insulting the feelings of believers was transferred for investigation to Chechnya on the personal order of Alexander Bastrykin, Chairman of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation.
