Kadyrov's associates supported his son's beating of a Russian student in Grozny's pre-trial detention center

Deputy of the State Duma from Chechnya Adam Delimkhanov publicly supported the beating of Russian student Nikita Zhuravel in Grozny's pre-trial detention center by the 15-year-old son of Ramzan Kadyrov. Delimkhanov actually admitted that Adam Kadyrov beat Nikita Zhuravel, who is accused of burning the Koran.

The MP said that he himself, like his colleagues, support this violence. “Being a worthy heir to the first president of the Chechen Republic, Akhmat Kadyrov, Adam showed an example of patriotism and the desire to protect religion and our shrines. He acted very humanely, leaving him alive, because people deserve the most severe punishment for such acts,” Delimkhanov said.

The day before, pro-Kremlin philosopher and political scientist Alexander Dugin praised Kadyrov's son, who, in his opinion, had the right to kill Nikita Zhuravel. “The son of Kadyrov acted like a man, like a Chechen, like a Russian. Good thing he didn't kill him. And there is a reason. And the man who burned the Koran on the order of the terrorists in Kyiv acted like the last bastard, like an instrument of Satan. What else did he expect? The laws of Russia must sacredly protect sovereignty and stand guard over justice. A real strong and just state, protecting the sovereignty of our people in the face of the advancing on us satanic Western civilization,” said Dugin.

Russian Human Rights Ombudsman Tatyana Moskalkova appealed to the Chechen Ombudsman Mansur Soltaev with a request to conduct an investigation into this case.

Earlier it became known that Kadyrov and his son Adam came to the Grozny pre-trial detention center. They talked with Nikita Zhuravel. The first of them left, the second remained in the cell and, according to the prisoner, beat him.

Recall that Nikita Zhuravel was detained in Volgograd after the publication of a video with the burning of the Koran in front of the city mosque. The Sledkom noted that the Volgograd student did this at the direction of the Ukrainian special services for 10 thousand rubles.

The criminal case on insulting the feelings of believers was transferred for investigation to Chechnya on the personal order of Alexander Bastrykin, Chairman of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation.
