Kadyrov ordered a “bullet in the forehead” to be fired at everyone who goes to unauthorized rallies

The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, gave advice to local security forces on how to deal with the instigators of unrest. “If we have even one person going to unsanctioned riots, detain and imprison him. Or fire three warning shots in the air and after that, if the person does not comply with the law, fire the fourth shot in the forehead. They won't come out anymore. This is my order,” Kadyrov told the personnel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the National Guard at a meeting in the government of the republic.

On October 29, in Makhachkala, local residents broke into the airport runway after the arrival of a flight from Tel Aviv. It was reported that they were looking for arriving Israeli citizens.
