The defense of 14-year-old Chechen Muslim Murdiyev received a response to a complaint about violations of the rules for escorting a minor, which it sent to the prosecutor on November 20, 2025. This information was published on the Muslim Free Telegram channel, created by a lawyer defending Murdiyev's rights and freedoms.

"Today, we received a response stating that nothing of the sort happened. That is, what our eyes see, what Muslim's hands feel—none of it happened," the defense shared.

The Telegram channel quoted the response to the complaint verbatim: "The facts stated in the appeal have not been objectively confirmed."

"So, they told us to believe the paper, not our own eyes," the lawyer laments.

On September 29, the Savelovsky Court in Moscow sentenced Muslim (Roman) Murdiyev to one year and eleven months in prison. According to investigators, five teenagers, including Murdiyev, assaulted eight people in September 2023 near Moscow's Aviapark shopping center and Khodynskoye Pole Park. Law enforcement believes the students deliberately provoked verbal conflicts with random passersby, after which they attacked them.

The teenager and his defense categorically deny his guilt. Chechnya Segodnya reports that "the charges stemmed from a fight in which Muslim stood up for another boy, who was younger. The fight, with the instigator clearly favoring the attacker, was filmed on a cell phone, which served as the basis for the criminal case, but for some reason, not against the instigator himself."
