[KavkazUzel] The court postponed the hearing in the case of the burning of the Koran by Volgograd resident Nikita Zhuravel due to the failure of imams from Grozny mosques, who act as victims in the case, to appear. As the "Caucasian Knot" reported, on October 9, the court hearing in Grozny in the case of the burning of the Koran by Volgograd resident Nikita Zhuravel was postponed due to the failure of the victims and the defendant to appear. The hearing in the case of Nikita Zhuravel in the Visaitovsky District Court of Grozny did not take place, since neither the victims in the case nor the witnesses appeared. The remaining participants in the meeting were present in court. The meeting was postponed to November 2, the Caucasian Knot correspondent reported. “The reason for the postponement was the failure of any of the 13 victims and four witnesses to appear at the hearing,” Sota reported today on its Telegram channel. The imams of the mosques in Grozny, who act as victims, did not appear in court, Volgograd Online clarified today. Let us recall that on September 25, the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, published a video of the beating of Zhuravel, who was arrested in the case of burning the Koran, in a pre-trial detention center. Zhuravel was beaten by Adam Kadyrov, the head of Chechnya said and praised his son for this act. Close leaders of Chechnya approved this act; a number of human rights activists were outraged by this act. On October 2, a picketer with a poster in support of Zhuravel was detained in St. Petersburg. On October 20, Deputy of the State Council of Tatarstan Azat Khamaev apologized to his colleagues for critical words about awarding Kadyrov’s son the title of Hero of Chechnya after his beating of Zhuravel. The beating of a defenseless person is contrary to Chechen customs, orientalist Akhmet Yarlykapov and Caucasus expert Ruslan Kutaev, previously interviewed by the Caucasian Knot, noted in connection with the beating of Zhuravel in a pre-trial detention center. “You can’t just take it and use violence. That is, a person who desecrated religion should have been judged according to religious laws and made a certain decision, which, I think, would not consist of beating,” Yarlykapov said, in particular. The "Caucasian Knot" also wrote that on October 17, a video of one teenager beating another was published in Chechen public pages; the Speaker of the Chechen Parliament, Magomed Daudov , responded to the publication . He threatened punishment to the parents of the boy who had distinguished himself by cruelty. The Republican Prosecutor's Office reported on the beginning of the investigation. Later, another video was published on social networks. It shows two schoolchildren in Chechnya, one of whom beat a peer, and the other filmed it on video, washing the floors as punishment. The ending of this story differed sharply from the story of the beating of the son of the head of Chechnya, Zhuravel, since Kadyrov’s son was not punished. Information about who condemned and who approved the beating of Nikita Zhuravel by Kadyrov’s son, as well as versions for what purpose the Kadyrovs created a new hype around themselves, was collected by the Caucasian Knot in the reference “The beating of Nikita Zhuravel: why did the Kadyrovites need to publish the video. |
