The court hearing in the case of Nikita Zhuravel was postponed due to the failure of Chechen imams to appear

The Visaitovsky District Court of Grozny postponed the consideration of the criminal case against 19-year-old student from Volgograd Nikita Zhuravel, accused of burning the Koran. This is due to the non-appearance of the victims - 13 imams of mosques in Chechnya. The meeting was postponed to November 2.

In August, Nikita Zhuravel stated that he was beaten by Ramzan Kadyrov’s son Adam in a pre-trial detention center in Grozny. A month later, the head of Chechnya published a video of the beating. Two weeks later, Kadyrov announced that his son was awarded the title “Hero of the Chechen Republic.”

The day before, Adam Kadyrov was presented with another award. The head of Tatarstan Minnikhanov awarded him the Order of Duslyk for his contribution to strengthening interethnic and interfaith peace and harmony.

Let us recall that recently a member of United Russia, deputy Azat Khamaev, at a meeting of the Tatarstan parliament, criticized the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, for beating prisoners and awarding his son the title of Hero. The next day, he publicly apologized, calling his remarks “overly emotional.”
