Arashukov Senior Complained about Prohibition of Night Prayer in Detention Center

Raul Arashukov, a former high-ranking employee of «Gazprom» sentenced to life imprisonment, complained about the impossibility to perform prayer prayers at night in the Moscow remand centre "Lefortovo". His son, ex-senator from Karachaevo-Cherkessia Rauf Arashukov, received a similar sentence. 
Lawyer Ekaterina Malinovskaya explained that according to the rules of the institution at night it is impossible to get out of bed. At the same time, Muslims now have a fast Ramadan during which they are allowed to drink and eat only until the first and after the last prayer.

Recall that in December 2022 both Arashukov were sentenced to life imprisonment. They were convicted of criminal association, murder and theft. The investigation considered that Rauf Arashukov, on the order of his father, organized the murders of Aslan Zhukov, a deputy of the youth movement «Adege-Hese» and Fral Shebzukhov, an adviser to the head of the KCR. In addition, the father and son are involved in the theft of gas worth 4.4 billion rubles.
