At the next court hearing in Grozny in the case of Nikita Zhuravel, accused of burning the Koran, the prosecution presented evidence of his guilt - the results of a forensic psychiatric examination. He was found to be mentally healthy and gave an account of the crime committed.
Previously, one of the witnesses reported in court that Zhuravel did not support SVO, being a native of Crimea, which was previously part of Ukraine. He never spoke about his plans to burn the Koran along with a video and distribute it on the Internet.
Earlier, the court completed the interrogation of the victims - 13 imams of mosques in Grozny. They declared the moral damage that Zhuravel caused to them and all Muslims with his act.
In May 2023, a student from Volgograd burned the Koran near the cathedral mosque. In Grozny he is being tried for publicly insulting the feelings of believers and hooliganism. Nikita Zhuravel, previously beaten by the son of the head of Chechnya Adam Kadyrov, partially admitted his guilt and apologized.
