[Regnum] Guilty of burning the Koran in Volgograd will go to serve his sentence in a colony in one of the Muslim regions of Russia, Russian President Vladimir Putin said during a meeting with war correspondents.

He specified that investigators from Chechnya were already investigating this criminal case.

“We instructed the Investigative Committee of Chechnya to investigate the crime of public destruction of the Koran. And they will serve their sentences, as stated by the Minister of Justice [Konstantin Chuichenko], in places of deprivation of liberty located in one of the regions of the Russian Federation with a predominantly Muslim population,” the head of state said.

The Russian leader recalled the case when commenting on instances in which officials and teachers in Russia persuaded young people to take a pro-Ukrainian stance. Putin believes that the investigation of such actions should be carried out by employees who participated in a special military operation to demilitarize Ukraine.

As IA Regnum reported , on May 20, a Volgograd man burned a Koran near a mosque. Local resident Nikita Zhuravel was detained on suspicion of committing a crime.

The detainee admitted that he acted on the instructions of the Ukrainian special services , who promised to pay him a reward of 10,000 rubles. On May 22, the Central District Court of Volgograd placed the man under arrest until June 20.

Putin approved the plan to send Zhuravel to a colony in the Muslim region

The President of Russia considered it right to transfer the case of Nikita Zhuravel about the burning of the Koran from Volgograd to Chechen investigators and said that he would serve his sentence in one of the Muslim regions.

As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, On May 20, a local resident Nikita Zhuravel was detained in Volgograd, who recorded a video with the burning of the Koran. During interrogation, he stated that he had done this at the direction of the special services of Ukraine. On May 21, the chairman of the Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin, ordered that Zhuravel's criminal case be transferred to Chechnya.

THE BASIS FOR THE TRANSFER
On May 22, Zhuravel was arrested in Volgograd. The head of the Ministry of Justice proposed, after the verdict, to send the Volgograd citizen to a colony in the region with a Muslim population.

On May 27, Zhuravel was taken to the pre-trial detention center in Grozny. Residents gathered outside the detention center building Chechnya, who demanded that the Volgograd citizen be severely punished.The trial of Zhuravel in the case of burning the Koran should take place at the crime scene in Volgograd, and its delivery to Chechnyamakes you fear for his life, Instagram users indicated.

The decision to transfer the case to Chechnya not only contradicts the law, but also creates a risk of torture for the Volgograd citizen and a threat to his life, lawyers interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot" pointed out. Consideration of the case in Chechnya  may lead  to a more severe punishment of Zhuravel, said human rights activist Valentin Bogdan.

Russian President Vladimir Putin confirmed today that the accused of burning the Koran will be sent to a colony in one of the Muslim regions, TASS reported today.

He cited the case of Nikita Zhuravel as an example, commenting on cases of inclining young people to a pro-Ukrainian position, saying that the investigation of such cases should be transferred to employees who took part in the military operation in Ukraine. "Just as we instructed the Investigative Committee of Chechnya to investigate the crime of public destruction of the Koran."

"And they will serve their sentences, as stated by the Minister of Justice [Konstantin Chuichenko], in places of detention located in one of the regions of the Russian Federation with a predominantly Muslim population," - quoted the words of the president of TASS.

A criminal case against Zhuravel was initiated under Part 2 of Article 148 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (public actions expressing clear disrespect for society and committed in order to offend the religious feelings of believers), which provides for up to three years in prison.

Recall that on May 23, a video was circulated on the Internet, in the footage of which a Volgograd citizen apologized to Muslims for burning the Koran. On the same day, a rally against the burning of the Koran was held in Grozny, which, according to official figures,  was attended by about 60,000 people.

The participants of the rally admitted that they represent educational and budgetary institutions of the republic according to the orders sent by the authorities. At the same time, there were no reports of such rallies from other Muslim regions.

Since the beginning of 2023, Ramzan Kadyrov  has reacted angrily at least four times to incidents of Koran burning. In addition, he publicly called for reprisal against the burners of the Koran.

For example, on March 16, Kadyrov posted a video on his Telegram channel in which people in military uniforms similar to those of the Ukrainian armed forces tear out a page from the Koran to light a fire. The head of Chechnya promised to pay 5 million rubles  for the execution of the participants in the video, in which a page from the Koran was used to light a fire, and 10 million rubles for taking them alive. Social media users pointed to signs of a staged video.

#3 Strangely enough, the dictated method for acceptable disposal of a Koran (yes, it happens), is by burning. Sort of like the US flag that way.
