The Investigative Committee began an investigation into the beating of a student native of Dagestan in a St. Petersburg school

Recently, a video of two schoolchildren beating a classmate went viral on social networks. One of them shouts slogans “Russia is for Russians.” The injured student was a native of Dagestan.

The incident occurred in one of the schools in St. Petersburg back in February. The Investigative Committee began an investigation and interviewed the participants in the fight; no decisions have been made yet.

The Commissioner for Human Rights in Dagestan, Jamal Aliyev, appealed to the prosecutor of St. Petersburg with a request to give a legal assessment of this situation and take response measures. “And the fact that boys beat a defenseless girl is a separate alarming issue about who was raised by their parents,” Aliyev noted.
