| Direct Translation via Google Translate Edited. [KavkazUzel] The practice of public repentance for misdeeds existed earlier in Chechen society and is provided for by Muslim law, Islamic scholars Alexander Arutyunov and Igor Alekseev pointed out. Chechen traditions do not provide for compulsion to make public apologies to the authorities, Oyub Titiev, a human rights activist from Chechnya, objected. The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that residents of Chechnya are regularly subjected to public censure and public apologies for various misdeeds and for criticizing the authorities. The report of the international crisis group " Chechnya: Internal Abroad ", published in June 2015, noted that such apologies are the result of pressure and threats. |
