A court in Moscow allowed Muslim Murdiyev, a 14-year-old native of Chechnya, to receive a school education in a distance online form. He is under house arrest. The reason for initiating a criminal case on hooliganism was a fight in which Murdiyev, according to lawyers, stood up for his friend before the aggressor.

“Muslim was deprived of this opportunity during the trial. Now the boy is in the 9th grade, and he will soon have his OGE. The opportunity to study at least remotely is an important, albeit insufficient step,” Mansur Soltayev, the Human Rights Commissioner for Chechnya, said on his Telegram channel.

Earlier, Moscow law enforcement agencies refused to consider requests and petitions from Muslim Murdiyev’s mother more than 700 times. She asked for an “honest investigation” in a complaint addressed to the Chairman of the Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin. According to the woman, the investigation did not provide her with CCTV footage of her son. She also said that he was threatened with a knife during the fight.

Recall that last year, during his live broadcast in Grozny, Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov criticized the heads of the Investigative Committee and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Alexander Bastrykin and Vladimir Kolokoltsev, over the criminal case against Muslim Murdiev and demanded his release.
