Kadyrov ordered to “shoot in the forehead” of the rioters

The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, instructed to strictly suppress possible mass disturbances and, if necessary, to shoot their participants “in the forehead”. This statement was made against the background of the seizure of the airport in Dagestan on Sunday evening. An anti-Semitic action in which hundreds of people participated turned into riots.

“If at least one of our people goes on an unauthorized riot, we will detain and arrest him. Or fire three warning shots into the air, and after that, if the person does not comply with the requirements of the law, fire the fourth shot in the forehead. They will not come out again. This is my order.” , – RIA “Novosti” quotes Kadyrov’s words, said on Tuesday to representatives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Russian Guard at a meeting in the government of the republic.

Kadyrov added that the request for “provocation” was suppressed in Chechnya last night, he did not give other details.

The head of Chechnya, like Russian President Vladimir Putin, accused Ukraine and Western countries of “inspiring” anti-Semitic riots. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine called it an attempt to “transfer from a sick head to a healthy one” the Russian side’s accusations of Kiev’s involvement in the organization of an anti-Semitic pogrom.

Like Putin, Kadyrov called on those who want to help Palestine to go to war in Ukraine.

The participants of the action at the Makhachkala airport claimed that they were defending the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, which is being attacked by Israel after the attack by Hamas militants. Kadyrov himself repeatedly sharply criticized Israel on social networks, accusing it of “genocide” and comparing it to Nazi Germany. At the same time, in Chechnya, unlike a number of other republics of the North Caucasus, there were no mass pro-Palestinian actions, some of whose participants uttered anti-Semitic slogans.

One of these actions took place on October 28 in Karachay-Cherkessia.
Residents of Cherkessk staged a rally in front of the republican government building. They demanded to “not allow Israeli refugees” into the republic and expel Jews from the region. As reported by “Kavkazsky Uzel”, the court fined several dozen participants of the action under an administrative article. One of the protestors said that they were warned that they would be “put down” for repeated participation in an unauthorized action – obviously, they mean criminal prosecution.

According to the latest data, 83 rioters were detained in Dagestan. It is not yet clear whether they have been charged in a criminal case. The head of Dagestan, Sergey Melikov, promised that the guilty will “get what they deserve.”

• On the evening of Sunday, October 29, from several hundred to one and a half thousand people seized the Makhachkala airport, coming there with an anti-Semitic protest before the arrival of a flight from Tel Aviv. Those gathered protested against Israel’s actions in the Gaza Strip and demanded the expulsion of Jews from the region.
• The crowd broke into the airport building and entered the airfield in search of passengers from Israel. There were clashes with the police. The Ministry of Health of Dagestan reported that more than 20 people were injured during the disturbances at the Makhachkala airport, 10 of them received serious injuries, including two who are in extremely serious condition. Nine police officers were injured.
