Chechen schoolboy left under house arrest in Moscow
The Moscow City Court refused to satisfy the defense's appeal against Chechen schoolboy Muslim (Roman) Murdiev. He will remain under house arrest until April 14.
As noted by Chechen Human Rights Commissioner Mansur Soltayev, the court violates the teenager's right to health protection.
"Considering that the child has been diagnosed with a heart defect, it is difficult for him to undergo routine examination and treatment, not to mention the need to visit doctors, cardiologists, psychologists and other specialists," Soltayev said.
Earlier, Moscow law enforcement agencies refused to consider requests and petitions from the mother of Muslim Murdiev, accused of provoking conflicts and fights, 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 for review. 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 that he be released. The defense insists on his absolute innocence. The reason for the criminal prosecution was a fight in which the teenager, according to the lawyers, stood up for his friend against the aggressor.
