In the city of Moscow, law enforcement officers accepted the statement of a native of the North Caucasus, who was attacked by local residents because of wearing a hijab. The resonant incident occurred at the end of August, when the victim was walking with her eight-year-old son. According to her, the attackers - at least three women - made insulting remarks about her because of her Muslim clothes. This is reported by “Kavkaz. Realities".

The applicant is represented by lawyer Ruslan Nagiyev. He claims that during the conflict there was a large dog nearby, which bit the child of the victim. The latter had hematomas and a rupture of the cruciate ligament of the knee, which required surgery. The defender did not specify the name of the woman and her other personal data. The police launched a procedural check, but there is no talk of initiating a criminal case yet.

The case involving religious freedom has become widespread in Islamic and North Caucasian communities. Aggressive forms of Islamophobia have become more frequent in Russia, and especially in Moscow, in recent times, which refute the assertions of the Russian authorities about respect for Islam against the backdrop of calling on Russian Muslims to take part in the war against Ukraine.
