The head of ChGTRK “Grozny” said that Kadyrov’s son was awarded for beating a prisoner in a pre-trial detention center

15-year-old Adam Kadyrov received awards and titles for punishing 19-year-old Nikita Zhuravel, who was arrested on charges of burning the Koran. This was stated by the head of the television company ChGTRK “Grozny” Chingiz Akhmadov.

“He was punished absolutely according to the case. And, of course, the awards are absolutely to the point. Keep in mind that Zhuravel was not connected; he is much older than Adam. For that matter, he might have resisted. But he showed that those who work for Western intelligence services do not have the spirit to resist the believer,” Akhmadov said.

In August, a student from Volgograd, Nikita Zhuravel, said that he was beaten by Kadyrov’s son Adam in a pre-trial detention center in Grozny. A month later, the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, published a video of the beating. Two weeks later, he announced that his son was awarded the title “Hero of the Chechen Republic.” In addition, Kadyrov Jr. was awarded the highest order of the Chechen parliament “Daimekhkan Siy” (“Honor of the Fatherland”), the Order “For Merit for the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic” and the Order “Duslyk” (the second most important state award of Tatarstan), “For Merit for Karachay -Circassian Republic" and "For services to the Ummah" 1st degree.
